release notes: Portability fixes. We welcome Jörn Clausen and David Binderman to the THANKS file. Note also the homepage is redesigned. thi README excerpt: GNU RCS (Revision Control System) manages multiple revisions of files. RCS can store, retrieve, log, identify, and merge revisions. It is useful for files that are revised frequently, e.g., programs, documentation, graphics, and papers. 5.9.1 (2013-10-04) NEWS excerpt: - bugfixes - specify ‘diff --binary’ consistently for non-POSIX systems On non-POSIX systems, in some cases, ‘rcs frob’ used to omit ‘--binary’ from the command-line to the underlying diff(1). Now, that is done in all cases. - portability fixes - avoid ‘grep -q’ GNU grep understands ‘grep -q’ but some others do not. (info "(autoconf) Limitations of Usual Tools") - avoid ‘$<’ in makefile GNU make understands ‘$<’ but some others do not. (info "(autoconf) $< in Ordinary Make Rules") - avoid backslash in backticks The /bin/sh scripts used in "make" and "make check" now avoid using a backslash in backticks, which can cause problems for Solaris 9 /bin/sh (and maybe other /bin/sh implementations). - ‘PROGRAM --help’ shows home page / "gethelp" info This is for compliance w/ the GNU coding standards. (info "(standards) --help") - maintenance tools updated - automake (GNU automake) 1.13.4 - gnulib-tool (GNU gnulib 2013-10-03 04:59:38) 0.0.8036-28df8 tarball and detached signature: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/rcs/rcs-5.9.1.tar.lz http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/rcs/rcs-5.9.1.tar.lz.sig http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/rcs/rcs-5.9.1.tar.xz http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/rcs/rcs-5.9.1.tar.xz.sig source code: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/rcs.git/?h=p homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/ -- Thien-Thi Nguyen GPG key: 4C807502 (if you're human and you know it) read my lisp: (responsep (questions 'technical) (not (via 'mailing-list))) => nil
