[clc-devel] Removing files from CVS
Hey, Some of us (including me) have missed to remove tags from unused files in CVS; a good number of such errors have been pointed out by "ncrfgs" via the bug tracker (thanks). I've added a short section to the CVS HowTo on removing single files: http://crux.fh-regensburg.de/cgi-bin/cvstrac/wiki?p=CvsHowto (section 8) Kind regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Bern, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net

oh my God! seems that ncrfgs has also a brain, so it's not only a troll and a bad thing for the clc team :) anyway, about the tags, why you prefere to move tags instead of simply re- tag the new releases of the files on the CVS? thank you for your help regards -- Giulivo Navigante GnuPG KeyID: E468396A

[...] anyway, about the tags, why you prefere to move tags instead of simply re- tag the new releases of the files on the CVS? I'm not quite sure what you mean by "retagging", but basically since we want to make a tag which points to version X point to version Y, the two only ways are to a) remove the tag from version X and readd it on version Y: $ cvs tag -d CONTRIB-2_0 $ cvs tag CONTRIB-2_0
or b) move it: $ cvs tag -c -F CONTRIB-2_0 Since the later is only one command and expresses better what we want to do (move the tag to the new version of the same file), I think no one ever thought about doing otherwise.

[cut] yep, the problem is in my english the idea is to apply the same tag to two differents revisions of the same file, without moving the tag from the old one to the new one. when the client request "XYZ" tagged release, only the last tagged revision of the file will be sent, no? greetings -- Giulivo Navigante GnuPG KeyID: E468396A

CVS does not support one tag on multiple revisions of one file. Martin.
