Your problem with RCS is most likely caused by DOS line endings \r\n in the
source while you have UNIX line endings \n in the *,v-Files.  Since ci thinks
all lines have been modified, it stores the whole source as the delta.

Re: RCS 5.7 make to big *,v-Files

[Georg Fusz]

Thank you for the hints!

The solution was:
The RCS package in ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/gnu/devtools/
comes with with an enhancede version of "diff", which can compare files
in the DOS- and the UNIX-Style. The "diff" in CygWin can't do that.

After changing the sequence in my PATH enviroment variable all works
well.

I must confess, that there was a hint in the documentation of the
RCS-package, but I understood it only after reading your hints.

Thank you!

RE: RCS 5.7 make to big *,v-Files

[Josh Baudhuin]

A further note: You can also build the RCS 5.7 sources as a native Win32 app
with what's in the package (there's an extra pre-config'd makefile that
supports various DOS/Win32 compilers). This build handles the CRLF stuff
without any hassle (converts \n to \r\n on checkout and back to \n on
checkin). It also has allows a pseudo soft-link RCS directory (create a file
called RCS which contains the pathname of the appropriate RCS directory
where the archive files are really stored). I don't know how well these
Win32 versions would work w/ the stdio of cygwin (shell, etc.), though...

It's likely that this will not work well with cygwin since it will not

Re: RCS 5.7 make to big *,v-Files, solution

[Georg Fusz]

Hello Josh, Michael and all the others !

The package available from ftp.leo. ... has binaries for a lot of
platforms and at least the WIN32 version works very well.

I am not a cygwin user, I use MinGw to compile and an Emacs running
under WinNt.

The only trick is: 
==================
Set your path in a way that the >>diff.exe<<, which comes with RCS,  is
in front of the diff.exe in MinGW and in CygWin.
Or copy all files in RCS packages in gcc-2.95.2/bin; that overwrites the
>>diff.exe<< original in that directory.

Maybe, Mumit should considre to put this diff.exe in his wonderfull
MinGw.

I am not very sure, but I think I have used >>ci<< and >>co<< from the
bash shell from CygWin.

Again, I must point out that it is unlikely that a native windows port
will work well with cygwin's path handling.

RCS 5.7 make to big *,v-Files

[Georg Fusz]

Since there is no RCS comming with CygWin 20.1 (full.exe) I downloaded
the RCS-executabels from 
ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/gnu/devtools/ .
It is version 5.7

All works fine, in the Cygwin bash-shell and in my Emacs.

The problem is:
In the *,v-Files there is NOT stored only the  the lines changing
between the different revisions. "ci" stores complete copies of the
files for each revision in the *,v-Files.

The ci.exe comming with MinGw-Sup-1.0 has the same problem.

Is there a never implementation of RCS running under CygWin or WinNT ?
