Hey all,

RCS was removed from the base system in r256095.  If you still want to
use RCS please install either devel/rcs or devel/rcs57.  If not, be
sure to check out the alternatives (pun stolen and intended).

Perhaps, a note in src/UPDATING is appropriate?

ok so what is this, the secret cabal to make FreeBSD useless?
I'm ccing core as I believe this was not discussed enough in public
(in fact not discussed AT ALL in any forum I am watching)
and I officially request a backout of the removal of what I consider
to be core functionality.

My usual way of doing things is on install to ci EVERYTHING in /etc
to get a snapsot right the way back to install.

now I have to change things in /etc (and other places) BEFORE I can
check them in.
(i.e. get networking up and ports installed)
not a big thing but I believe that a lot of poeple use ci/co on /etc
becasue it is "just there"


+1 for keeping a RCS in base.  I too use to maintain a bunch of
files in /etc - I have for years and years.  I don't particularly
want the GPL'd version - I'd be happiest with the OpenRCS version
(BSD-licensed) from OpenBSD.
