ANNOUNCE: SCons 0.12 (build tool in Python) has added RCS support

[Steven Knight]

Of possible interest to RCS users:

Version 0.12 of SCons, which has just been released, has had support
added for fetching source files from RCS.

SCons is an Open Source software construction tool (build tool, or
make tool) written in Python.  It is based on the design which won the
Software Carpentry build tool competition in August 2000.

SCons has a number of features that provide more flexible and robust
software builds:

    --  automatic scanning for #include lines and other implicit
        dependencies
    --  detection of changes based on file contents
    --  a more efficient model for (parallel) -j builds
    --  global view of all dependencies
    --  the ability to fetch files from code repositories
    --  support for sharing target files between builds

And now, SCons has added support for fetching files from source code
managements systems, including RCS.

Version 0.12 of SCons has just been released and is available for
download from the SCons web site:

        http://www.scons.org/

Or through the download link at the SCons project page at SourceForge:

        http://sourceforge.net/projects/scons/

RPM and Debian packages and a Win32 installer are all available, in
addition to the traditional .tar.gz and .zip files.

If you take a look at SCons and have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks!
