Betreff: watchers in awry
I am just trying to learn to use CVS in a group. I am trying to get the watchers working.
This is a short question, but I have included a clear run through (I hope) of what I did.
So far I have created a test module, and added a file to it called rane.txt. I have logged in as the user 'rane', added a watch to the file with:
cvs watch on
and
cvs watch add
I confirmed this with:
cvs watchers
which produced:
[address@hidden tester]$ cvs watchers
rane.txt rane edit unedit commit
Next I checked out the same file as a differnt user 'neil', and checked the watchers with:
cvs watchers
which again produced:
[address@hidden tester]$ cvs watchers
rane.txt rane edit unedit commit
however when listing the files with ll, I got:
[address@hidden tester]$ ll
total 8
drwxrwxrwx 2 neil neil 4096 Jul 1 23:40 CVS/
-rw-rw-rw- 1 neil neil 26 Jul 1 23:37 rane.txt
where I was expecting the rane.txt file now to be checked out as read-only, according to the documentation:
'10.6.3 How to edit a file which is being watched
'
Since a file which is being watched is checked out read-only, you cannot simply edit it. To make it read-write, and inform others that you are planning to edit it, use the
cvs edit
command.
Please could someone explain why the watched file is not read only.
Thank you
Neil Blue
