Its small, simple, and easy to work with. just emerge app-text/rcs then: $ co -l .config $ vi .config $ ci -u .config The revisions is kept as delta in a single file .config,v optionally in a subdirecdory RCS if that exists, you can even have RCS be a symlink to som other location if you like. -- Christer -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
