The Unix Listserv Program (TULP) is a project involving multiple
development sites. To aid working with the same sources at many
sites all at once we have used the Revision Control System (RCS)
from the GNU Project.
If you plan to make any changes, enhancements or fixes to the
program, we suggest using RCS yourself. Get the latest sources
for RCS from any GNU redistribution site - we are using v5.6.
Once you have all the files of TULP in one directory, create a
directory called RCS, and check everything into RCS with the -k
option. This will preserve the RCS keyword values already in
the distributed files. Here is the procedure:
% mkdir tulp
% chdir tulp
% zcat ../tulp-200.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
% mkdir RCS
% ci -k *
Once you have made changes and wish to contribute to the TULP
project, get the changes you have made using rcsdiff against the
original released version. You might want to start your own
branch if you like to save checkpoint versions of your own work.
I do know there is a package called CVS that might handle this
kind of work better. However, I don't currently have a working
version of CVS installed, and I am not really aware of all the
procedures needed for using CVS. If someone would like to shed
some light about this, please do so!
All code changes are preferred in a context diff format. Please
send diffs through e-mail to the authors.
