3 rcsfreeze \- freeze a configuration of sources checked in under RCS
6 [symbolic revision name]
10 command has the purpose of assigning a symbolic revision
11 number to a set of RCS files, which form a valid configuration.
15 each time a new version is checked
16 in. A unique symbolic revision number (\c
20 is increased each time rcsfreeze is run) is then assigned to the most
21 recent revision of each RCS file of the main trunk.
23 If the command is invoked with an argument, then this
24 argument is used as the symbolic name to freeze a configuration.
25 The unique identifier is still generated
26 and is listed in the log file but it will not appear as
27 part of the symbolic revision name in the actual RCS files.
29 A log message is requested from the user which is saved for future
32 The shell script works only on all RCS files at one time.
33 It is important that all changed files are checked in (there are
34 no precautions against any error in this respect). Run
36 first and see whether any sources remain in the current directory.
