#ident "@(#)README.SCCS	1.9 18/04/04 "

This is a portable and reworked version of the original UNIX SCCS source.

SCCS is the most mature Revision Control System. This source is:

-	Based on the original SCCS project that started in 1972 at Bell Labs.

-	Including all Sun / Solaris extensions.

-	Large file aware

-	Allowing to selectively disable/enable expansion of specific SCCS
	keywords (like %I%, %Q%, ...).

-	Correctly dealing with lockfiles even in a NFS based multi machine
	environment.

-	Using gettext() for internationalized texts.

-	Completely using a type clean set of function prototypes and external
	variable definitions.

-	Ported to and tested on all major OS platforms.

To compile, just run "smake" (or Sun make or GNU make).

The binaries by default install to /opt/schily/ccs/bin & /opt/schily/xpg4/bin
"/opt/schily" is called "Installation Base" and may be controlled via the
make macro INS_BASE.

If you like to install SCCS to a different directory, you need to do
the following:

If you like to install to e.g. /usr/sccs, call:

	smake INS_BASE=/usr/sccs
	smake INS_BASE=/usr/sccs install

The binaries then are located in /usr/sccs/ccs/bin and /usr/sccs/xpg4/bin

If you like to create binaries to incorporate into a standard UNIX distribution,
call:

	smake INS_BASE=/usr
	smake INS_BASE=/usr install

The binaries then are located in /usr/ccs/bin and /usr/xpg4/bin


Note that you need to at least recompile sccs.c, delta.c and help.c
in case that you like to change the install directory. The other programs
need to be recompiled too, in order to allow them to find their international
string translation files or in case that SCCS_FATALHELP has been defined for
compilation, so is is a good idea to recompile everything:

string translation files, so is is a good idea to recompile everything:

smake clean
smake INS_BASE=/usr/sccs
smake INS_BASE=/usr/sccs install

or at least:

rm cmd/sccs/cmd/*/OBJ/*/*.o
smake INS_BASE=/usr/sccs
smake INS_BASE=/usr/sccs install

The normal install tree looks this way:

/opt/schily/bin/		contains symlink to the "sccs" program
/opt/schily/ccs/bin/		contains sccs binaries
/opt/schily/ccs/include/	fallback search dir for %sccs.include.filename%
/opt/schily/ccs/lib/		contains internal libs
/opt/schily/ccs/lib/help/	contains help files
/opt/schily/share/man/		contains man pages
/opt/schily/xpg4/bin/		contains POSIX variants of the binaries

With:

smake clean
smake INS_BASE=/usr SCCS_BIN_PRE= SCCS_HELP_PRE=share/
smake INS_BASE=/usr SCCS_BIN_PRE= SCCS_HELP_PRE=share/ install

the install tree looks this way:

/usr/bin/		contains sccs binaries
/usr/lib/		contains internal libs
/usr/share/include/	fallback search dir for %sccs.include.filename%
/usr/share/lib/help/	contains help files
/usr/share/man/		contains man pages
/usr/xpg4/bin/		contains POSIX variants of the binaries

Note that in this case, the binary of the UNIX "diff" program may overwrite
a local "diff" variant. If you plan to create binary packages that do not
include the UNIX diff program, be careful to check whether the local diff
program supports all needed features for SCCS and allows SCCS to work
correctly in all cases. If you like to verify that you local "diff"
implementation works correctly, run the following:

smake clean
smake INS_BASE=/tmp/SCCSTEST SCCS_BIN_PRE= SCCS_HELP_PRE=share/ tests
cp /usr/bin/diff /tmp/SCCSTEST/bin
smake INS_BASE=/tmp/SCCSTEST SCCS_BIN_PRE= SCCS_HELP_PRE=share/ tests

and verify that both runs of the test work correctly.

Also note that this kind of parameters work with smake, gnu make and the
schilytools variant of SunPro Make, but not with the Sun/Oracle provided
version of SunPro Make because the latter does not propagate command line
macro definitions to sub make programs.

NOTE: If you are compiling using a K&R C-compiler and like to install
to a different dir than /usr/ccs, you need to edit all *.c files in
the directory cmd/sccs/cmd/src. Look for the comments tagged XXX for further
help and edit all strings in the #else parts of #ifdef PROTOTYPES.
Replace the "/usr" prefix with your intended install path.


If you like to "install" to a different intermediate directory, call e.g.:

smake install DESTDIR=/tmp

Note that you need to add all other make parameters as well on the command line
when you use DESTDIR=<dir>.

If you like to use sccs, you need to add /opt/schily/ccs/bin to your PATH.

If your PATH has ${INS_BASE}/xpg4/bin before ${INS_BASE}/ccs/bin
line in: ${INS_BASE}/xpg4/bin:${INS_BASE}/ccs/bin
you will use the POSIX compliant variants of the SCCS tools.

Further compile time options:

SCCS implements the following compile time options that can be activated via

	smake COPTX=-DXXX
or
	smake "COPTX=-DXXX -DYYY ..."

where XXX is one of the following:

BUG_1205145
or
GMT_TIME
		This is a hacky compile time option introduced by Sun
		between 1989 and 2006. It allows to store GMT based timestamps
		in the SCCS history files instead of local time based timestamps.

		Note that this compile option is deprecated since SCCS
		started to support the SCCSv6 history format that stores
		local time + GMT offset.

		Future versions of SCCS may not support this anymore or
		just stop compiling when the option is used.


SCCS_FATALHELP
		Print the equivalent of the "sccs help" command for failing commands
		in addition to the historic short message that only includes the
		SCCS error code.

		This option is enabled by default.


NO_NANOSECS
		Do not include nanoseconds in the SCCSv6 time stamps.
