.SH NAME
|
|
rcsfreeze \- freeze a configuration of sources checked in under RCS
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B rcsfreeze
|
|
[symbolic revision name]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.I rcsfreeze
|
|
command has the purpose of assigning a symbolic revision
|
|
number to a set of RCS files, which form a valid configuration.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The idea is to run
|
|
.I rcsfreeze
|
|
each time a new version is checked
|
|
in. A unique symbolic revision number (\c
|
|
.BI C_ number,
|
|
where
|
|
.I number
|
|
is increased each time rcsfreeze is run) is then assigned to the most
|
|
recent revision of each RCS file of the main trunk.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the command is invoked with an argument, then this
|
|
argument is used as the symbolic name to freeze a configuration.
|
|
The unique identifier is still generated
|
|
and is listed in the log file but it will not appear as
|
|
part of the symbolic revision name in the actual RCS files.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A log message is requested from the user which is saved for future
|
|
references.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The shell script works only on all RCS files at one time.
|
|
It is important that all changed files are checked in (there are
|
|
no precautions against any error in this respect). Run
|
|
.IR rcsclean (1L)
|
|
first and see whether any sources remain in the current directory.
