We are using CVS (Concurrent Versions System), which makes use of RCS for version control. All of our makefiles are designed to assume the necessary files are in the working directory. You must have already checked out all the sources (via cvs checkout) before you invoke make. Having make do the checkout is fine for the latest version, on the main line of descent (for revisions). We need to be able to build past versions of anything from sources. This seems to work fine, so far. -- Donald E.
