Ha! Fair enough. No, I didn't intend to troll. I've found RCS useful for ad hoc versioning of configuration files on systems without git or other version control systems. Wondering whether anyone still finds it useful. I reckon not!
- e12e 13y agoI used to use RCS, but these days I use mercurial. Pretty much any DVCS is going to be a "better RCS" than RCS (bzr, mercurial, git, fossil, monotone...). Even if you never need to pull/push.
- throwaway2048 13y agoRCS is a lot less complexity and remembering commands than a full-on VCS for a few stray config files.
- seewhat 13y agoI've recently installed RCS on a Windows host for versioning my .emacs file, and I rely on Emacs VC to drive the tool. On Solaris hosts, including locked-down "production", I use SCCS to version my dot-files because it's available by default. For development I use SVN (old too by today's standards). I don't advocate using these old tools over modern alternatives; however I find their simplicity in the above cases to be beneficial.
