this sounds like an excellent idea. i find that the older i get, the more i
tend to forget which file i tweaked :(
We use CVS for controlling our software but for the system files
I find that RCS is generally sufficient.
RCS is simple to use and ...
yes (i'm used to rcs). but what happens (let's say) if you crash a disk and
have to reload the system. do you have some tool that extracts all the rcs
directories from a backup or something like that?
how about keeping versions of executables and scripts?
or suppose you download and install the latest version of your favorite
software and find that it just doesn't work. how about some way to
automagically roll back to a previous version?
thanks
