Tycho 0.1 Limitations and Bugs

Key Limitations

Detailed Bug Descriptions

RCS mode bug

Unfortunately, if RCS does not necessarily put the version control files in the RCS subdirectory. If the RCS subdirectory does not exist, then the directory is not created and the version control file is put in the current directory.

If I do the following to create a version control file in the current directory

	cxh@brahe 23% rm -rf RCS
	cxh@brahe 24% chmod u+w log.itcl
	cxh@brahe 25% ci -u log.itcl
	log.itcl,v  <--  log.itcl
	enter description, terminated with single '.' or end of file:
	NOTE: This is NOT the log message!
	>> This is the description for log.itcl
	>> .
	initial revision: 1.1
	done
	cxh@brahe 26%
	

Then when I try to check out log.itcl from within tycho, I get a message stating that the file is not checked in, and would I like to do so. My guess is that tycho is looking for a RCS or SCCS subdirectory, and not the log.itcl,v file. This is a minor bug.

Tycho Console Class bug

The X Class of the tycho console is Console. This means if fvwm is set so that windows named Consoleare sticky (present on all virtual screens), then the Tycho console is sticky too. The xprop command shows that the Tycho console's class is Console
