Hello all, in the past I used RCS on all machines for keeping configfiles in /home or /etc or whatever. Nearly everytime when I move to another machine I think that it would be cool to have all of these repoistories centralized on a server. So I thought I should convert all of these RCS to CVS.
Most of my non-production machines are on *BSD, Debian or other OS and when I want to install CVS everyone is screaming: "Don´t use it..." When I ask on internet for ideas how to keep configfiles under revision control also everyone screams: "don´t use CVS..." and instead of talking about concepts (symlinks, woring dir,...) most people give ready-made solutions with git or whatever is their preferred software. I can´t understand why I "shouldn´t use cvs". Because it is old? Hmmm... Latex is old, vi is old, rcs is old... all of them are useful and I love to use them Although I know that my question is not 100% OpenBSD related, I would ask here for concepts/ideas how to keep configfiles under revision control, because I know that there are many experienced admins on this list.
