Hello
I am currently trying to get RCS running on a System V (2.X) machine, and
have run into the following roadblock:
* The System V I am using does not have the diff and diff3 versions
required by RCS.
* I have obtained the "gnudiff" package from uunet, but it seems
that the diff3 supplied is not the one RCS needs. The RCS merge
shell script calls diff3 with many arguments (including revision
numbers to be used as labels for the differences), far more than
the GNU diff3 is willing to entertain.
* I cannot find source to the RCS variant of diff3 anywhere.
To further my frustration, I have most recently been working on
a Pyramid, which has RCS - including the elusive diff3 - distributed
with OSx, but binary only.
* The project we want to employ RCS on will need to make extensive
use of branching and merging.
I'd really appreciate information on where I'm likely to find RCS diff3.
FYI, both the RCS and GNUdiff sources were obtained from the /usr/spool/ftp/gnu
directory on uunet.
Thanks for any and all help,
