Hmm...  OOTB?  Did you take care to test it?  In the past there've been
issues with the way files are left opened while the temp files are being
copied over them.  That doesn't work with Win32 and therefore Cygwin. 
With CVS already working do we need RCS?

Sure -- let a thousand flowers bloom.  Besides, there are some client 
applications that expect to use RCS as the backend, not CVS.

I'm more worried about the text/binary issues -- especially mixtures. 
E.g. if the revision files are stored on a binary mount, but the working 
files are stored on text mounts -- or vice versa.  Do things still work? 
  (AFAIRC, even CVS still has difficulty with this)

It looks ok except for two points:

> curr: 5.7

  ^^^^^^^^^
- Get rid of this in the setup.hint file.

- Repack the source archive so that it unpacks into rcs-5.7-1
  instead of rcs-5.7.  Always add the Cygwin subversion to the
  directory name.

As soon as you did that I'll upload that package to cygwin.com.

Thanks,
Corinna

For those concerned about textmode/binmode:  RCS is testing for
O_BINARY in the sources and uses that if necessary.

I've just uploaded the files to cygwin.com.

Please send an announcement tomorrow as described in
http://cygwin.com/setup.html#submitting, point 9.
