I am looking for some ideas or scripts for working with rcs (or roll your own) to help with the following:
A project I use doesn't have any public CVS, but have snapshot tarballs. So I want to download via cron each night, extract and do a "ci" check-in. I will be making my own local modifications also (which may conflict). So I want to merge in the changes via rcsmerge (and diff3 -E style). I am hoping to automate all this. Basically, I am trying to recreate "cvs up -dP" behaviour that will merge in my own changes cleanly or add conflict lines (if necessary), so I can easily share my "rcsdiff -u" changes. I guess rcs is not needed, but anything to automate the rcsmerge/diff3 type work would be good. I guess I could have a directory with my work. And a directories with previous snapshot and latest daily snapshot. Then script this daily download, extraction, running diff3 and replace my version with the new diff3 -E result. Jeremy C.
