From acc687b3a74e3c8d750630c323d223f1c63599db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luke Shumaker Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2015 23:56:37 -0600 Subject: mkdir rvs; mv * rvs --- README | 94 ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 file changed, 94 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 README (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README deleted file mode 100644 index be5298c..0000000 --- a/README +++ /dev/null @@ -1,94 +0,0 @@ -#!/bin/more -////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// - rvs 0.8c r54 - retroactive versioning system - a versioning system that allows you to check - in commit 2 before commit 1 -////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// - -introduction - - rvs is about being able to go back and edit *anything* that has - already been committed. Yes, some other SCMs do this, but fuck - things proper if someone else has a copy of the old version. - - Why would you want to do this? Take for example the Bazaar - repository rvs is hosted on: It starts at 0.6.0, what if I later - want to import 0.0.0 - 0.5.10? Or if I'm trying to construct a - history of BSD, and import all the BSDs I can find, such as - 1,3,4, then latter find 2? - -system requirements - - Pretty much any *nix system should be able to run rvs. If you - need to use a shell other than /bin/sh, run ./configure with - the --SHELL=YOUR_SHELL option. rvs is not designed for Windows, - but should be able to run in bash if you have some *nix pack - installed. - - To my knowledge, this is the absolute requirements (all but the - shell need to be in your PATH): - * a POSIX shell (tested with dash, and GNU BASH) - * cat (included in GNU Core Utils) - * cp (included in GNU Core Utils) - * cut (included in GNU Core Utils) - * echo (included in GNU Core Utils) - * mkdir (included in GNU Core Utils) - * rm (included in GNU Core Utils) - * sed (included in GNU Core Utils) - * sha1sum (included in GNU Core Utils) - * tempfile (included in GNU Core Utils) - * tr (included in GNU Core Utils) - -building - - rvs doesn't exactly use the GNU build system, but acts much like - it does. To build rvs with default configuration, simply run: - $ ./configure - $ make - # make install - - It's generally considered good practice to build in another - directory than the source directory. If you would still like to do - this, it can be done in rvs-0.6.1 and up. - - Configuration - - There are several configuration variables that can be set. You can - modify these configuration variables by running ./configure such - as: - $ ./configure --VAR_NAME=VALUE - - The different configuration variables are as follows: - name='rvs' - The name of the program. Note that unlike most - variables, you should NOT call this in Makefiles - (`$(name)'), but use `$(rvs)'s instead. - CC='gcc' - The C language compiler to use. - RVS='$(bindir)/$(rvs)' - Where the exectuable will be. `$(rvs)' is the same as - `$(name)' (see above) - SHELL='/bin/sh' - The shell that will be used by make, and the shell - that scripts will run in. (Perhaps we should make - these separate variables?) - prefix='/usr/local' - Standard GNU variable. Many of you will want to - change this to `/usr', or `/home/USER_NAME' - exec_prefix='$(prefix)' - Standard GNU variable. - bindir='$(exec_prefix)/bin' - Standard GNU variable. - sbindir='$(exec_prefix)/sbin' - Standard GNU variable. - libexecdir='$(exec_prefix)/libexec' - Standard GNU variable. The plugins will be installed - at $(libexecdir)/$(name) - srcdir=$(readlink -f `dirname "$0"`) - Where the source code is. The default value evaluates - to the directory of the `configure' script. - -~ Luke Shumaker -Happy Hacking! - -- cgit v1.2.3
