Hello,
Being a writer, I find RCS is still the best VCS for my needs.
I tried CVS, SVN, Git, Darcs, but RCS is just perfect for what I need: a single
user, single file, plain-text, local control system.
Some say RCS is outdated, and Why one should waste time on such an old
application? To me, old not always means worse; quite often it means better.
And I personally find RCS is definitely better than others more modern and
advanced systems, of course in respect to those aspects.
Anyway, there is only one thing that I would like to have, and that is
checksums.
I searched for options, and I found MD5RCS[^1].
It uses a patched version of rlog, and it seem to almost work, except that,
when I tried to manually "corrupt" a revision inside a test.txt,v file, md5rcs
declared all of the revisions were corrupted.
Is there any alternative to that application, to compute and verify checksums
(md5 or others) on individual revisions of a RCS file?
Perhaps a simple shell script to invoke before checking in and out?
Thank you very much in advance
Sincerely,
Guido Sette
