Hi all:
I have read of several references to a version control system for
MINIX. What is it? How big is it? and how do I get it? Also, does it compile
under MINIX?
thanks, Lance Brown

How big is it? and how do I get it? There is a system called SVC, written by Peter Housel. It will be included in 1.4b and subsequent versions. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)

Any chance on bringing up RCS? The RCS programs are not large, but they do require an RCS compatible diff. RCS even runs on Ms/Dos. I think it may be doable in 64k code/64k data provided a good diff and diff3 is available. marty ARPA: leisner.henr@xerox.com GV: leisner.henr NS: leisner:wbst139:xerox UUCP: hplabs!arisia!leisner

RCS is already running under Minix/ST. I did a port and posted the (minimal) changes required. I've no idea if it will run in 64k + 64k. Also my version is not the latest and the greatest. Haven't found time to upgrade yet. The diff I use is the diff from Gnu. I don't recall if I also use their diff3. However RCS is quite usable without diff3.

True enough. I took the standard Minix diff and changed it slightly to work with RCS. It was a very simple change. > RCS even runs on Ms/Dos. That's right, and so does mine, but the limit in file name lenght and component characters is a pain... :-) > I think it may be doable in 64k code/64k data provided a good diff and diff3 is available. This is where I haven't got it quite finished yet. I don't have a working diff3 under Minix, but then I haven't really missed it yet. Maybe later... -tih -- Tom Ivar Helbekkmo, NHH, Bergen, Norway.
