  Description     : SCCS implementation based on sources from OpenSolaris

Source Code Control System is an early version control system, and is
currently part of the Single UNIX Specification.  Although generally
considered obsolete and surpassed by newer VCSes such as Subversion,
Git, Mercurial, and so on, the original is still useful for looking
into some very old projects that may have been stored in SCCS.


Debian already has CSSC, which is mostly compatible but has some errors
in a few corner cases.  Particularly, the reason I'm submitting this
RFP is because I've been going through the CSRG archive sold by
McKusick, which as the original BSD tree maintained in SCCS, and CSSC
itself fails to properly read some items.  I used this SCCS package
and found no problems.
