README
rcsfreeze.pl is a perl script to freeze a configuration of
sources checked in under RCS.
This perl script is a complete rewrite of the rcsfreeze.sh shell
script contained in the RCS package with its RCS ID:
"rcsfreeze.sh,v 4.6 1993/11/03 17:42:27 eggert Exp"
The major differences between the shell script and the perl
script are the following:
the input argument "symb revision number"
- is optional for the shell script. Internally an unique
revision number is used.
- is mandatory for the perl script. Only this symbolic
revision number is used.
the log message
- is saved by the shell script in its own file
rcsfreeze.log. But there are no tools available to
retrieve the log messages for a given revision number.
- is saved by the perl script amongst the other RCS log
messages. Therefore they can be retrieved with the
appropriate rlog command.
For more information on how to use the script, see the pod
documentation or view the man pages.
For instructions on how to install the script, see the file
INSTALL.
