7/20    What's the "approved" way to correct a typo made in an RCS log message.
        \_ ED!
        \_ from rcs(1)
           -mrev:msg
                  Replace revision rev's log message with msg.
           --Jon
             \_ Thanks.

        \_ MS has some freebie tools for stuff like this.  Sorry I can't
           recall the name of any of it but I know they exist.  There's also
           third party stuff.  It's thankfully been a very long time since I've
           had to admin an NT machine....  -solaris dude
        \_ Dependency Walker
        \_ There's a program called handleEx that does it
        \_ Don't bother with tools just vi RCS/fname,v
           \_ That is why you fail.
              \_ When you see the ,v files for what they are, you will
                 know why the tools limit you little grasshopper
                 \_ but for those who can't figure it out, the tools
                    are like kevlar for their foot.
                 \_ And oh great one, enlighten us in the ways of the ,v file!

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

1/10    In subversion (svn) is there a way to check out a file from
        a different BRANCH for diff purposes?
        \_ More specifically, do you want to compare your working copy of
           file.c with one in a branch?  Or do you want to compare the
           repository copy of file.c in trunk vs. file.c in branch?
           \_ compare a particular revision in trunk with a particular

10/3    Is there a command in cvs that'll tell me what files I've
        editted/changed from the original cvs update?  \_ Use the -n flag.
        I normally use cvs -n update.  \_ Do you have to use CVS or can
        you migrate to something else?
           \_ Yeah, subversion is quite nice.  I hated it at first, though
              \_ How do you find out what files I've editted in svn?

10/24   So why is Firefox at 2.0 now?  Granted this revision is a bit bigger
        than most minor revisions, but neither the program architecture or
        plugin interface changed much.
        \_ Marketing?  Maybe even free software needs marketing?
           \_ The marketing wants to be freeeeee!!1111

6/14    I am thinking of getting a 17" Macbook Pro to replace my 17"
        Powerbook G4. I haven't been following CPUs lately. Is there any
        reason to wait (i.e. something better is just around the corner)?
        \_ merom is supposed to be released around september.  it will be
           64 bit and use less power than the current chip.  if you can wait
           that long, you might as well.
