You would want a read lock file in all of the directories of the repository, not just at the top-level $CVSROOT directory... You may wish to look for cvslock http://www.zevils.com/doc/cvsbook/cvsbook_8.html#SEC273 http://cvs.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/cvslock/cvslock.c I don't believe any of the currently released versions deal with LockDir or promotable locks (#cvs.pfl), so you may end up needing to hack things a bit to use it. -- Mark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBvMkZ3x41pRYZE/gRAmIbAKDNt/v9bs4HAgcOgcjNSxT/MvHV7ACfR2BF FjgqGJ/ZhVw8H/sRCOEvgvc= =2uhr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
