Automated Revision Control System
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Automated Revision Control System (ARCS)
ARCS, not to be confused with the firmware bootloader also named ARCS, is a wrapper (or front-end) to a multitude of existing revision control systems. It has support for GIT, Subversion, Darcs and CVS backends and can drastically simplify the revision control process due to its in-built filesystem monitoring. Changes can be optionally made in real-time, updating remote peers simultaneously; the system is becoming ever-increasingly stable.
ARCS was the idea of Sam Watkins (computer programmer and enthusiast from Victoria, Australia). It was, and is, being actively developed by Sam and Alastair Poole (also a programmer from Victoria, Australia) in the hope it will become popular amongst new users to the revision control world, as well as people looking for methods of easy back-up and data syncronisation; DNS servers, websites and software projects are being maintained by this system already in its current developmental state.
It is licensed under the GNU General Public License GPL and runs on GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OSX and Microsoft Windows.
The first milestone release (0.5.0) is expected to be released sometime in March 2007. Current snapshots can be found on http://arcs.nipl.net and http://arcs.unixtreaty.com.
As of this article the current release is 0.4.9.
