RCSFREEZE(1)							  RCSFREEZE(1)

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.

FILES
     RCS/.rcsfreeze.ver
	  version number

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

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