Hi,

Is there a GUI fron-end for RCS (revision control system) for X Window?

Or alternatively, is there a GUI version control system for X Window
(other that RCS)?

Cheers,
Shuky

XEmacs has a very easy to use RCS mode.

Try CVS, it is a front-end to RCS, to handle complete Source-Trees.
It works remote and local. You can find it on prep.ai.mit.edu.

Try tkCVS. CVS is an add-on to RCS and tkCVS is a GUI
interface on CVS. The tkdiff part of this package is
handy and understands RCS.

Good luck,

Also some versions of CVS have a GUI written in TCL/TK (AFAICR).

emacs (which runs under X) has an efficient interface to RCS. i
recommend it highly. if you are using RCS you are probably editing
files. with emacs you have your version control integrated nicely with
your editing.

Oh, yes! And I find it greatly annoying, BTW. Can someone tell me
how to turn this "feature" off? Here is what happens. I check out
a file on my FreeBSD machine. My colleague works with Emacs on NT
(shame on him, but what can I do?). As we know, NT does not have
``rcs'', but Emacs thinks it is smarter then it's users (true for
many cases). So, it sees the RCS subdirectory next to the file my
colleague wants to edit, and insists on the file being either
read-only, or wants to check-it out (which fails due to the lack
of rcs).

How do I make it write to the file, damn it?! Unix permissions are
just fine, what is it's problem?!?

TIA,

(remove-hook 'find-file-hooks 'vc-find-file-hook)

does the trick here.

You can get RCS for NT - I use it all the time and it works a treat.
The latest version handles long filenames (the earlier version seemed
to have a maximum of 9.4). Not sure if the RCS files will be compatible
between Linux and NT but since they are just text files they should be
OK.

IIRC, RCS is fine for cross-platform use except in the case of binary files,
which it handles slightly differently. This may be an endiannes issue or
something, I forget. Anyway, this means that almost all RCS controlled files
are "portable".

=o= Installing rcs on your NT box also does the trick. :-)

I had this exact same problem just a few days ago. I waas needing to
edit a file, but filename.c,v existed also. emacs was trying to check
it out, and when it did not check it out, it made it read only. even
with the permissions set to 777. ugh. what I ended up doing was
nuking all the *,v files in the directory. I believe I would have
been fine with a rename of the file to newfilename.c, but I am not
sure. As long as RCS garbage did not hang around for the filename,
then emacs would not have been messing with rcs permissions and such.

however, I bet there is a port of rcs for nt. I suggest searching on
the net for ntemacs, and / or the virtunix stuff. that might turn up
an NT port of rcs for you all to use.

l8r,
rob

rcs has been ported to NT, Windows 95, OS/2, and DOS. A few moments
web searching will probably turn it up a place for the NT port.

Okay, so I'm stupid. I searched for 45 minutes, but all I
found was meta-information like manuals and testemonials.
No one thought to link to a place were I could actually
*get* RCS. Where is RCS for Windows95? Please help!
