This is VCS::Rcs::Parser Package.

RCSfile parsing with Parse::Yapp and Rcs 'co' implimentation in Perl.

To install the package as root:

$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
( try the tests in the examples/ directory as well ) # make install

if you do not have privilages to install it system wide: (like me)

$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/user (or wherever you can write to) $ make
$ make test
( try the tests in the examples/ directory as well ) $ make install

The tests are in shell script for now. I know its bad. I will put them in test.pl as soon as I can.

WARNING

THIS IS A BETA SOFTWARE. DONT USE IT FOR PRODUCTION UNLESS YOU HAVE DONE THE TESTS ON THE FILES YOU ARE WORKING WITH.

• 0.04 has a memory leak!!! upgrade

BUGS

• 'CO' algoritm does not follow branches, or even 'next's. It only follows the order deltatext is written to the ,v revision file.
• Probably more!

TESTS

• There is a examples/test.sh script fro comparing the results with standart 'co'. Run this to see if it diffs OK.
• If you want to check your ,v revision files, -if it works with your filesstick them in the examples/RCS directory, and try form there.
• There is a co.pl script you can use instead of 'co'. Don't forget. It is very limited.
