Well, there are of course ways to do this. I just thought that someone might have written a script. I did e.g. write a script to convert RCS to SCCS. BTW: Your search strings helped me to discover that my RCS vs. SCCS text now made it to the top of the Google search results: http://sccs.sourceforge.net/sccs_vs_rcs.html So it now seems to be easier not to find the unproven claim that RCS is supposed to be faster than SCCS. Regarding CSSC: this could have been a solution in the 1990s but this project did never reached a state that makes it a real SCCS replacement. It artificially limits the number of deltas to 30000 and is aprox. 30x slower than SCCS. > Those that know unix know that ;) > > > Check e.g. "NSE", "TeamWare" and "KitKeeper". > > Which, fortunate or not, are all forgotten by the open > source community likely due to licenses and lack of > maintenance and public userbase. NEW was the base for TeamWare and Teamware was in use by Sun, HP, IBM, AT&T, Xerox,.... for development of CDE. BitKeeper has been developed by one of the co-developers of TeamWare after he left Sun. Thanks to Glenn Skinner, one of the TeamWare project leaders, I know that the idea "smoosh" was patented but the patent did time out a year ago. So It now just seems the right time to start with SCCS again. I am sorry that this took too much time, but I did make a negitioation with SCO to make SCCS OpenSource in 2001, but then the Linux Company "Caldera Linux" bought SCO and there was no interest in OpenSource anymore 2 weeks before the source code should have been handed out. So it took me until December 2006 and negotiations with Sun to make SCCS OpenSource. > > The advantage of SCCS is the history file format that allows a lot of > > features > > and that gives the best performance. > > > > http://schillix.sourceforge.net/man/man4/sccschangeset.4.html > > http://schillix.sourceforge.net/man/man4/sccsfile.4.html > > There are a lot of good in many things to continue to advocate > and integrate and deploy, and a lot of market share and good > stuff in things that users are using today.

Vor SF, there is an interface for the archives at e.g. https://sourceforge.net/p/cdrtools/mailman/cdrtools-support/ see: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cdrtools-support > > are you satisfied with the recent changes? > > cdrtools never let me down yet, and star helped a lot on some > projects :) OK, I am still in hope to get feedback from Volker as well.
