NAME
rcsfreeze - freeze a configuration of sources checked in
under RCS
SYNOPSIS
rcsfreeze [_n_a_m_e]
DESCRIPTION
rcsfreeze assigns a symbolic revision number to a set of RCS
files that form a valid configuration.
The idea is to run rcsfreeze each time a new version is
checked in. A unique symbolic name (C__n_u_m_b_e_r, where _n_u_m_b_e_r
is increased each time rcsfreeze is run) is then assigned to
the most recent revision of each RCS file of the main trunk.
An optional _n_a_m_e argument to rcsfreeze gives a symbolic name
to the configuration. The unique identifier is still gen-
erated and is listed in the log file but it will not appear
as part of the symbolic revision name in the actual RCS
files.
A log message is requested from the user for future refer-
ence.
The shell script works only on all RCS files at one time.
All changed files must be checked in already. Run
_r_c_s_c_l_e_a_n(1) first and see whether any sources remain in the
current directory.
FILES
RCS/.rcsfreeze.ver

BUGS
rcsfreeze does not check whether any sources are checked out
and modified.
Although both source file names and RCS file names are
accepted, they are not paired as usual with RCS commands.
Error checking is rudimentary.

RCSFREEZE(1) USER COMMANDS RCSFREEZE(1)
rcsfreeze is just an optional example shell script, and
should not be taken too seriously. See CVS for a more com-
plete solution.
