NAME
rcsfreeze - Freezes a configuration of sources checked in under RCS
SYNOPSIS
rcsfreeze [name]
DESCRIPTION
The rcsfreeze command assigns a symbolic revision number to a set of
Revision Control System (RCS) files that form a valid configuration.
The rcsfreeze command is to be run each time a new version of a set of
files is checked in. A unique symbolic name, C_number, is assigned to the
most recent revision of each RCS file in the main trunk. The number is
increased each time the rcsfreeze command is run.
A name may be supplied to give a symbolic name to the configuration. The
unique identifier is still generated and is listed in the log file but
will not appear as part of the symbolic revision name in the actual RCS
files.
When the files are checked in, a log message is requested for future
reference.
The shell script works only on all RCS files at one time. All changed
files must be checked in already. Run the rcsclean command first and see
whether any unchecked files remain in the current directory.
FILES
RCS/.rcsfreeze.ver Version number of the files.
RCS/.rcsfreeze.log Log messages, with the most recent message listed
first.
NOTES
Although both source file names and RCS file names are accepted, they are
not paired as usual with RCS commands.
The level of error checking is elementary.
CAUTIONS
The rcsfreeze command does not check if any sources are checked out and
modified.
