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 rcs-
       freeze 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 con-
       figuration.  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  modi-
       fied.

       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.
