Description: RCS is an old but very lightweight revision control system
Fedora Account System Username: madhatta

RCS is an old but very lightweight revision control system.  It's a GNU project, the main page being at https://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/ .  It was a core part of RHEL up to and including EL7, but was dropped for EL8; hence the desire to see it come back via EPEL.

There is an open bugzilla request for RCS in EPEL, at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1867496 , and the existing maintainer has indicated that a co-maintainer would be acceptable.

This is my first package and I need a sponsor.  I have in fact already had an offer (thanks, Michel) but the guidelines for doing this say I should mention that I don't yet have an actual sponsor, and I'm trying to follow them very closely!

As this is an existing Fedora package (and you just need it branched and built for EPEL8) this probably should not be a review request. Let me check if getting sponsored via comaintaining an existing package is still a thing.

I think this can be closed, looks like rcs is packaged and build for epel8 now: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rcs/tree/epel8
