NAME

  rcsfreeze - freeze a configuration of sources checked in under RCS


SYNOPSIS

  rcsfreeze [name]


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_number, where number 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 name argument to rcsfreeze gives a symbolic name to the
  configuration. The unique identifier is still generated 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 reference.

  The shell script works only on all RCS files at one time. All changed files
  must be checked in already. Run rcsclean(1) first and see whether any
  sources remain in the current directory.


RESTRICTIONS

  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 is just an optional example shell script, and should not be taken
  too seriously.  See CVS for a more complete solution.


FILES

  RCS/.rcsfreeze.ver
      version number

  RCS/.rcsfreeze.log
      log messages, most recent first
