Okay folks, can we make a call about keeping the RCS tools in the
base?
The proponents wanting to remove RCS need to speak up and make their
technical case.
Technically it is quite simple: I need RCS to start versioning config
files, even before starting any customization. I know about several
others who do the same (and have not yet defected to Linux).
I would like to see RCS to be put back into the tree for 10.0. If it
really -has- to be victimized by the current anti-GPL crusade, it could
be replaced by OpenRCS in 11.
And as a long time hard-core user I would appreciate if this kind of
changes were performed only after at least -some- public discussion.
The way this change was sneaked in (though apparently with approval of
core@), reminds me more of a Secret Society than of an Open Source
project.

Hans

+1, enthusiastically. -- George
+1 also to OpenRCS allthough I hate anything related to RCS/CVS with a
passion. I do however recognize the need for a simple revision control
system in the base, svnlite would fill the need maybe but it's good to
have other options too.

OK, but please, can we replace RCS with Fossil in 11 then? That adds a real
improvement to FreeBSD while giving people plenty of time to prepare.
can fossil read rcs files? and how big is it compared to RCS?
