Hi,
We're using CVS in pserver mode.
We're using tags for our release mechanism.
Before tagging a file, I have written a script
that checks that there is not a more recent version
of that file already with that tag in the repository.
However, my script is not atomic.
If two person try to run it together, the check
for a more recent version will take too much time,
specially as the users tag a whole directory.
How can I acquire a named lock in the CVS repository ?
I'd like to have only one user at a time able to run
this script for release "Rel_3".
So, I could border my script by:
getlock ("Rel_3");
verify ();
tag ();
leavelock ("Rel_3");
Thanks,
