[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga source code management?

talmage@lti.uucp (David Talmage) (10/04/89)

[ I sent a similar query a while ago but don't think it ever made it offsite ]


What do Amiga developers use for source code management?  I'm toying with
the idea of porting RCS to Our Favorite Micro.  Has it already been done?
If so, how do I get a copy of it?

I don't think this is a general interest topic, so please e-mail your
replies to me.  As always, I'll summarize the responses I receive.  

Thanks loads!

This is a very interesting topic. I use RCS at my work for source code
management. And it works very well indeed. The problem is that RCS is
made for is UNIX. A ported RCS or SCCS for Amiga would be nice!

Btw, if anyone has a newer version of RCS, I would be happy to receive
it by email. Our RCS is version 3.9, dated 1982...

The following is from the ``GNU.how-to-get'' instructions at Ohio State
(osu-cis via uucp):


	RCS
	---
	Source is arthur.cs.purdue.edu:pub/rcs/rcs.tar.Z as of 25 Jan 89.
	File is ~/rcs/rcs.tar.Z, size 193,473.

	NOTE: Your first responsibility on obtaining and unpacking this
	software is to read the README and READ_ME files contained within it.
	The RCS system constitutes (as I now understand it) shareware; it
	contains no proprietary code, but the copyright holder (the author,
	Walter Tichy) requires you to register your usage of the system with
	him.  Questions should be addressed to the author.

Hope the above helps.
