(vc-sccs-latest-on-branch-p): Always return t; we
don't support anything else under SCCS yet.
(vc-sccs-update-changelog): Dummy implementation that
simply signals an error.
(vc-sccs-state-heuristic): Use
file-ownership-preserved-p.
(vc-sccs-workfile-unchanged-p): Fix call to
vc-do-command.
(vc-sccs-state-heuristic): Don't use file-writable-p.
(vc-sccs-workfile-unchanged-p): Fix parenthesis.
(vc-sccs-print-log, vc-sccs-diff): Insert in the current buffer.
(vc-sccs-workfile-unchanged-p): Rewritten.
(vc-sccs-diff): Remove optional arg CMP.
(vc-sccs-state): Call vc-workfile-unchanged-p, not the
SCCS-specific function.
(vc-sccs-state): Fix obviously wrong parenthesis.
(vc-sccs-state-heuristic): Use file-writable-p instead of
comparing userids.
(vc-sccs-checkout): Use `unless'.
(vc-sccs-state): Use with-temp-buffer.
(vc-sccs-workfile-version): Use with-temp-buffer and new
vc-parse-buffer and don't bother setting the property.
(vc-sccs-add-triple): Use with-current-buffer and
find-file-noselect.
(vc-sccs-lookup-triple): New vc-parse-buffer and turn cond -> if.
Merge in
code from vc-sccs-hooks.el.
(vc-sccs-release, vc-sccs-system-release): Remove. Don't require
'vc anymore.
(vc-sccs-responsible-p): Use expand-file-name instead of concat
and file-directory-p instead of file-exists-p.
(vc-sccs-check-headers): Simplify the regexp.
(vc-sccs-responsible-p, vc-sccs-register): Use
`vc-sccs-search-project-dir' instead of `vc-sccs-project-dir'.
(vc-sccs-header): New var.
(vc-sccs-rename-file): Renamed from
vc-sccs-record-rename. Use `find-file-noselect' rather than
`find-file' and call `vc-rename-master' to do the actual move.
(vc-sccs-diff): Remove unused `backend' variable.
(tail): Provide vc-sccs.
(vc-sccs-checkout): Removed call to
vc-file-clear-masterprops. If writable, set vc-state to 'edited
rather than user login name.
Require 'vc and 'vc-sccs-hooks.
(vc-sccs-register-switches): New var, copied off of vc-rcs-hooks.
(vc-sccs-latest-on-branch-p): Add a `FIXME' for a call to the
unknown `vc-latest-version' function. It should probably refer to
vc-workfile-version or somesuch, but it's very unclear to me and I
don't have SCCS to test things.
(vc-sccs-steal-lock): Renamed from `vc-sccs-steal'.
(vc-BACKEND-responsible-p): New
functions.
(vc-BACKEND-register): Renamed from `vc-BACKEND-admin'. Removed
query option. Redocumented.
(vc-sccs-diff): Function changed name from
`vc-backend-diff'. This makes `vc-diff' work.
(vc-sccs-release): Doc fix.
(vc-sccs-admin): Added the query-only option as
required by the vc.el file.
(vc-sccs-latest-on-branch-p): Function added.
(vc-sccs-diff): Function added.
(vc-sccs-checkout): Added function `vc-sccs-checkout'.
Require vc when compiling.

(vc-sccs-check-headers, vc-sccs-steal, vc-sccs-uncheck)
(vc-sccs-revert)

from vc.el).

(vc-sccs-lookup-triple): Moved from vc.el and renamed.
(vc-sccs-admin): Doc fix.
(vc-admin-sccs): Added from vc.el

13 * GNU and the Free Software Foundation | |
14 | |
15 Project GNU is organized as part of the Free Software Foundation, Inc. | |
2305 | 16 The Free Software Foundation has the following goals: 1) to create GNU |
17 as a full development/operating system. 2) to distribute GNU and | |
18 other useful software with source code and permission to copy and | |
19 redistribute. | |
101 | 20 |
21 Further information on the rationale for GNU is in file | |
2305 | 22 `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/GNU' (all files referred to are on the Internet host |
23 prep.ai.mit.edu). | |
101 | 24 |
2305 | 25 Information on GNU Internet mailing lists and gnUSENET newsgroups can |
26 be found in `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/MAILINGLISTS'. | |
101 | 27 |
28 * How To Get The Software | |
29 | |
30 The easiest way to get a copy of the distribution is from someone else | |
31 who has it. You need not ask for permission to do so, or tell any one | |
32 else; just copy it. The second easiest is to ftp it over the | |
33 Internet. The third easiest way is to uucp it. Ftp and uucp | |
2305 | 34 information is in `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/FTP'. |
101 | 35 |
36 If you cannot get a copy any of these ways, or if you would feel more | |
37 confident getting copies straight from us, or if you would like to get | |
38 some funds to us to help in our efforts, you can order one from the | |
2305 | 39 Free Software Foundation. See `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/DISTRIB' and |
40 `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/ORDERS'. | |

42 * What format are the *.gz files in? |
2305 | 43 |
44 Because the unix `compress' utility is patented (by two separate | |
45 patents, in fact), we cannot use it; it's not free software. | |
46 | |
47 Therefore, the GNU Project has chosen a new compression utility, | |
48 `gzip', which is free of any known software patents and which tends to | |
49 compress better anyway. As of March 1993, all compressed files in the | |
50 GNU anonymous FTP area, `prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu', have been | |
51 converted to the new format. Files compressed with this new | |

56 files (which end in `.z'). This is possible because the various |
