And Gnu has CSSC (Compatibly Stupid Source Control) a GPL sccs implementation whose intended use case is to let you move stuff *out* of sccs and into something more modern. Eric S. Raymond has a tool called reposurgeon intended to automate most of the conversion when migrating to a new DVCS. He wants to make CVS go away. I should point him at POSIX as someone in need of his services. (He also wrote a tool called SRC that is a Python wrapper around RCS to provide a more modern UI. He even figured out a way to get it to support sccs for fun, but can't imagine anyone is still *using* sccs...) > Rob ______ Dennis Who has known ESR since before he was famous. https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
