The patch supplied here is intended to be applied to the rlog.c and rcssync.c files in the standard RCS 5.7 source code release, which may be obtained at: ftp://ftp.cs.purdue.edu/pub/RCS/ This distribution of cvs2p4 uses the modified rlog to parse RCS metadata. I hope to include binaries of the modified rlog command for popular cvs2p4 hosts in a future release. For now, you'll need to build it yourself, installing the result as .../cvs2p4/bin/rlog, where bin/genmetadata expects to find it. Thanks, - rmg
