Description Marc Wathelet 2006-08-16 06:30:55 UTC

Installed cvs version is 1.12.12-r2

When I run rcs2log script, I get:
sort: invalid option -- 4
Try `sort --help' for more information.

Digging into /usr/bin/rcs2log, on line 623, the sort command is using invalid (or obsolete?) options for the sort utility installed by coreutils-5.94-r1.

sort -t"$SOH" +2 -4r +4 +0 |

should be replaced by

sort -t"$SOH" -k 3,4r -k 5 -k 1,2 |

to achive the task explained in the comments located just above.
