Davidsen Jr) Newsgroups: comp.unix.wizards Subject: Re: question regarding SCCS internals Message-ID: <9880@steinmetz.steinmetz.UUCP> Date: 10 Mar 88 20:16:25 GMT References: <2052@ttidca.TTI.COM> Reply-To: davidsen@crdos1.UUCP (bill davidsen) Organization: General Electric CRD, Schenectady, NY Lines: 13 If I were doing sccs over, I'd make two changes... when I added a (delta) file I'd reset the modified time of the s file to the time of the file added. When I extracted (get) a file I'd reset the time of that, too. sccs can really be a PAIN when used with make, unless you keep the extracted files handy. Of course, having make pull writably copies of all files from SCCS doesn't help. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
