CSSC is the GNU Project's replacement for SCCS. SCCS is a proprietary suite
|
|
of tools which is provided with most commercial versions of Unix. The purpose
|
|
behind CSSC is to provide a work-alike for SCCS which can be used on the
|
|
various Free versions of Unix.
|
|
|
|
SCCS was the only major form of source code control on Unix platforms for many
|
|
years, until RCS came along. SCCS was an effective method for small projects,
|
|
but these days it is less popular, particularly for projects involving large
|
|
numbers of files. A certain amount of old software is still in SCCS form, and
|
|
CSSC is designed to retrieve that software. Once retrieved, it is recommended
|
|
to bring the source under the control of a more modern source code control
|
|
system, such as git or Apache Subversion.
|
|
|
|
However, SCCS (and CSSC) is still perfectly adequate for small projects. For
|
|
example, if you are familiar with SCCS, it is not unreasonable to control the
|
|
files in /etc and /usr/local/etc on your private FreeBSD machine with CSSC.
