Looking for working RCS for OpenVMS

[Brian MacNamara_1]

Hi Folks,

Using a 2nd volume, whether a LD or physical could "work," for Mercurial, but it does mean that I'd have to support a remote tree separate from my source for all the repositories. That adds a considerable headache to trying to get people to use things right. I was really hoping for a much simpler/cleaner solution that wouldn't have things as scattered.

As I noted, I don't have the option of switching to ODS-5 for my live disks. I have things that are tied to OSD-2 there (my application dates from the early/mid 1980s and changing it to suit ODS-5 is enough work to completely abandon any source control project (think many, much and lots of $$$). Just to re-certify the system would probably cost more than a year's budget for my dept - no guesses for how far that would fly.

I'll look at whether I can work around the separate volume headaches.

I think we've probably bashed this one around enough, so I'll let the thread go at this stage.

I think I have as close to an answer as I'm going to get on this.
