Ummm ... maybe I let my zeal get ahead of my cerebral cortex. I still use rcs for archiving bookmarks, /etc config files, and such. it is quite adequate, reliable, and easy. As has been pointed out, cvs sorta works as long as no one tries to do anything real, like refactor or add an icon. It did serve a purpose for a long time. Staying with cvs with such a compellingly superior drop-in replacement (svn) makes no sense to me. It makes more sense to stay with sendmail, which at least is feature complete (it is, isn't it? <me be mail ignorant>). But most of you guys don't do this for a living (I mean SCM, not development), so I'm gonna shut up and stop trying to save you from yourselves. -- Lan Barnes Linux Guy, SCM Specialist Tcl/Tk Enthusiast -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
