Mullican, Catherine writes:All the files included in our 4.4.1.0 release are tagged v4_4_1_0 at the appropriate revision. Files modified since that time which should be included in the 4.4.1.1 release are tagged v4_4_1_1 -- but only changed files are currently tagged.That's the problem -- you need to tag *all* the files. You can tag as you go by specifying -F to tag to allow it to move the existing tag, but you'll have to be careful that you don't move the wrong tag by accident. Better is to wait until you're ready to release 4.4.1.1 to tag all the files. If you want to change files that aren't supposed to go into the 4.1.1.1 release, you should either make those changes on a branch or else make a branch for the 4.1.1.1 release.
Larry neglected to mention that, assuming the `cvs up -rv4_4_1_0' command he _did_ mention works, `cvs up -r v4_4_1_0 -jv4_4_1_0 -jv4_4_1_1' should get you your 4.4.1.1 release as well, though I agree that just tagging the whole thing would be easier. You should be able to retroactively `cvs up -rv4_4_1_0; cvs tag v4_4_1_1' safely since _without_ `-F', tag won't overwrite existing tags. Then `cvs up -rv4_4_1_1' should get you your 4.4.1.1 release.
And to make matters worse, we can't seem to go back to 4.4.1.0 anymore, even after a cvs up -A. All the files are still being removed from the working directory. They look OK in CVS via the web interface.cvs up -r v4_4_1_0
Derek -- *8^) Email: address@hidden Get CVS support at http://ximbiot.com -- I am for encouraging the progress of science in all its branches, and not for raising a hue and cry against the sacred name of philosophy; for awing the human mind by stories of raw-head and bloody bones to a distrust of its own vision, and to repose implicitly on that of others; to go backwards instead of forwards to look for improvement; to believe that government, religion, morality and every other science were in the highest perfection in the ages of the darkest ignorance, and that nothing can ever be decided more perfect than what was established by our forefathers. - Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry, 1799
