Package: cssc
Version: 1.0.1-4
Severity: wishlist

The `cssc' package provides a set of SCCS utilities with binaries
buried in /usr/lib/cssc. This bug is to request putting symlinks
to these utilities to /usr/bin to have them usable not only via
the `sccs' frontend but also directly.

Note that POSIX specifies that at least the following utilities
be available under the DEVELOPMENT option: `admin', `delta', `get',
`prs', `rmdel', `sact', `unget', `val', `what'. All those utilities
are already present in the cssc package, but not visible in the
default PATH.

The GNU make utility expects that the `get' command is available
when building SCCS-based projects. For example, consider the
following situation:

d...@cipher:/tmp/cssc$ ls
SCCS
d...@cipher:/tmp/cssc$ make
get   SCCS/s.Makefile
1.1
4 lines
Hello World!
d...@cipher:/tmp/cssc$ ls
Makefile  SCCS
d...@cipher:/tmp/cssc$ 

Here, `make' used `get' to retrive the Makefile itself. Currently,
`make' would not work properly with the default installation of
the cssc package.
