RE: Executables in RCS

[Daniel McAferty]

From what I have seen, you have to initize the file first before the file is first placed into RCS

To initilize:

rcs -i -kb <filename>

Then:

ci <filename>

 

From then on you should be able to "co" and "ci" normally and the file will stay in binary format.

Although merge is not available with binary files.

Subject: Executables in RCS

Hi,

Is there a danger to keep binary/executable  files in RCS? Can they be damaged? If so , is there a way to prevent the damage? Thanks.

And… how does the RCS "know" it's a binary file?
