Re: Freezing CVS tags

[David Everly]

I'm thinking that what I do works to not allow tag changes:

First, I define a 'cvsadmin' group.

Second, I place this line in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/taginfo:
ALL $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/tagrules.sh

Third, I place tagrules.sh in my $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/checkoutlist

Fourth, my tagrules.sh looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

if [ $2 = "mov" ] ; then
   echo "--->Please do not try to move or change tags."
   exit 1
fi
if [ $2 = "del" ] ; then
   echo "--->Please do not try to delete tags."
   exit 1
fi
exit 0
