Hi everyone,
I'm planning to lock cvs today getting ready for our release. I realize
with certain version control software nowadays you don't have to lock
the repo and the developers can continue with their work. However,
we're imposing and enforcing a few days for freeze and to regroup.
Our repository resides on a linux box with :pserver method access from
WinXP CVS DOS and Tortoise clients. Could I just lock the repo by
executing cvs admin -l or -L or do I have to download some perl module
to accomplish this? I need to lock our CVS repository today. Three
projects reside in the repository, is it possible to lock them
selectively or would admin -l lock the entire repo?
If you want to lock all projects, then create an empty
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/writers file. I believe this will work for all access
methods, not just pserver. Unlocking the repository is a simple matter
of deleting the file. See
https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_2.html#SEC36 for
details.
To selectively lock projects, have a look at the cvs_acls script. It's
in the source code distribution (available from www.cvshome.org) in the
contrib/ directory.
