Hello !
I am wondering if we can start using RCS for every changes we make to configuration files ? That will allow us to know what has been changed and who made it.
The drawback is that we will have to stop "vi something.conf" or the configuration change will be lost when someone check out the RCS repository file (that's what happened 3 hours ago with shai and me).
We can use a little "editconf" script that should be used instead of our editor that will automaticly:
_ create the repository if it doesnt exit (mkdir RCS) _ checkout last version _ edit file _ ask for a log change _ commit the change
Such a script is on the dev wiki [[RCS#Scripts]] .
If nobody care, I will stop using RCS and just do like everyone else :o)
