The RCS, like ci, co, rlog, etc. can find in Xcode 5.0(with command line developer tool) in mountain lion, but disappear in mavericks with xcode 5.0.1(with command line developer tool).

Is apple abandoned the simple version control tool?

  • Any idea where to get a good version of CVS for Mavericks? – Andrew Jaffe Nov 04 '13 at 09:12
  • @AndrewJaffe I was copied the commands (like ci, co, etc.) from another mac with old version of Xcode to the Mavericks, and place these files in /usr/local/bin/ , it's just works for RCS. So I think you can have a try to CVS. – LiuGN Nov 05 '13 at 10:31

From Xcode release notes:

The CVS and RCS source control tools have been removed from Xcode 5. 11968433

Here's what I did:

  1. Used a time machine backup to restore ci, co, rcs, rcsclean, *rcsdiff, rcsmerge, and rlog* to my directory ~/bin/rcs

  2. Unfortunately, the system needs to find them in /usr/bin. I did not want to add new files to that directory. So I reluctantly (via terminal and sudo) typed

  3. ln -s ~/bin/rcs/* /usr/bin

If you don't want to recompile from source, Rudix is probably the simplest way to install RCS.

The latest version installs in /usr/local/bin and run well in Mavericks. You might want to symlink it in /usr/bin afterward.
