I am currently struggling with some of the "administrative" duties of
CVS. I
want to be able to determine the changes that have happend on a branch
between
two different dates. This will then be used to make up a patch that can
be
added to fix defects. Currently I have only been able to do some of
this
using Perl scripts and the CVS/Entries file. When I have tried to use
cvs diff with two -D args or -r and -D I get differences between the
branch
and HEAD. I am sure there is a more logical command set to accomplish
this
task that can be done using cvs.
Ideas I have had are:
Tag the branch with each patch that goes out.
Create a branch for each defect fix
Write out a file with a unique name statting the defect and the files
changed
Any ideas I can get on managing the "release" process, being able to
back
out defect fixes, create patches,...
If you can't tell I am creating a process from scratch so I am looking
for
best practices.
Thanks,
-Kent
