I'm using RedHat 7 linux (cvs 1.10.8). I have found that cvs rtag -a does not actually do what it says it does. We create a static build tag every day when we build, say "Build0314", which points to the source at 12:30pm. We then do our builds, fix any errors, commit any changed files, and move the build tag. When we're done, we create a "Checkpoint" tag based on the build tag. We use: cvs rt -a -F -r Build0314 Checkpoint module What can happen is the following: 1) File foo.c exists in Build0314. 2) File foo.c gets the Checkpoint tag later in the day when Build0314 has been verified. 3) File foo.c is removed from the project. 4) File foo.c does not receive the Build0315 tag, since it's been marked as dead. 5) However, when we create the Checkpoint tag again, file foo.c keeps the tag from yesterday and it is not cleared out, despite the fact that it doesn't have the Build0315 tag. Thus when the developer checks out to the Checkpoint, he retrieves deleted files that should not be there (and sometimes break the builds for them). We're working around it by removing the Checkpoint tag first, and then setting the Checkpoint tag. However, it seems that the command is simply not doing what is advertised. Has anyone else seen this problem? Has it been fixed? nh ----- Nathan Herring Software Design Engineer in Development Mac Office (http://www.microsoft.com/macoffice) (425) 703-3720, fax (425) 936-7329 _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
