-*- Text -*- PRCS -- Project Revision Control System Announcing version 1.2 of PRCS, the Project Revision Control System. PRCS is the front end to a set of tools that (like CVS) provide a way to deal with sets of files and directories as an entity, preserving coherent versions of the entire set. PRCS was designed primarily by Professor P. N. Hilfinger, with input and modifications by Luigi Semenzato and Josh MacDonald. PRCS is written and maintained by Josh MacDonald. Its purpose is similar to that of SCCS, RCS, and CVS, but (according to its authors, at least), it is much simpler than any of those systems. To compile and install PRCS, read the instructions in the INSTALL file. Once you have done this, you should at least read the first few sections of the documentation. It is available in info format. All documentation is located in the doc/ subdirectory. The current release, version 1.2, and future releases of PRCS can be found at ftp://ftp.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/pub/prcs. HTML documentation and recent developments are available online at http://www.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/~jmacd/prcs.html. PRCS is released under the GNU public license, see the file COPYING for details. A mailing list has been formed for announcements and discussion: prcs-list@XCF.Berkeley.EDU, you can subscribe by mailing majordomo@XCF.Berkeley.EDU with the single line subscribe prcs-list Comments about PRCS can be addressed to the following addresses: prcs@XCF.Berkeley.EDU Bug reports can be addressed to the following address: prcs-bugs@XCF.Berkeley.EDU When sending bug reports, always include: -- a complete description of the problem encountered -- the output of `prcs config' -- the operating system and version -- the architecture. If possible, include: -- the file `/tmp/prcs_bug', if it exists -- the working project file, if one was in use -- the output of `ls -lR' in the current directory. Disk space permitting, retain the following: -- any relevant working project files -- a repository package created with `prcs package PROJECT'. Disk space not permitting, retain just: -- the repository file PRCS/PROJECT/PROJECT.prj,v -- the repository log PRCS/PROJECT/prcs_log -- the repository data file PRCS/PROJECT/prcs_data -- the output of `rlog' on each repository file under PRCS/PROJECT. These steps will help diagnose the problem.
