Lightbulb CVS Tagging Script
Hi All,

We have to tag all source code files to prepare a release kit. We have one CVS Project under which all files have to be tagged.

We use the following cvs command to tag a specific version of a file:

'cvs rtag -r X.XX -F "newbuild" somefile'

This command asks for the CVS Login password everytime executed.

What I plan to is to minimize the manual tagging of files with the newbuild and just have a list of fil_name, version changed since the last build.

file_list.csv
-----------------
file_name,version
-----------------

If we have the information in the following format, can write a shell script to tag all files against the version specified with the newbuild name.

Note: The cvs commands asks for a password everytime it is executed. Can I pass the password just once?


Thanks,
Rahul.

cvs-debc

CVS-DEBC(1)						      General Commands Manual						       CVS-DEBC(1)

NAME

       cvs-debc - view contents of a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debc [options] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debc  is  run  from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage or cvs-debuild.  It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate the
       .changes file generated in that run.  It then displays information about the .deb files which were generated in that run, by running  dpkg-
       deb -I and dpkg-deb -c on every .deb archive listed in the .changes file, assuming that all of the .deb archives live in the same directory
       as the .changes file.  It is useful for ensuring that the expected files have ended up in the Debian package.

       If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those debs with names in this list of packages will be processed.

       Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as  the
       last command-line parameter.

OPTIONS

       All  current  cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however, only the ones listed below have any effect.  For more details on all
       of them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.

       -adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
	      See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options.  They affect the search for the .changes file.  They  are  provided	to
	      mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the name of the .changes file.

       -Mmodule
	      The name of the CVS module.

       -Ppackage
	      The name of the package.

       -Vversion
	      The version number of the package.

       -Ttag  The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.

       -Rroot directory
	      Root of the original sources archive.

       -Wwork directory
	      The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.

       -xprefix
	      This option provides the CVS default module prefix.

       --help, --version
	      Show help message and version information respectively.

AUTHOR

       cvs-buildpackage was written by Manoj Srivastava, and the current version of debi was written by Julian Gilbey <jdg@debian.org>.  They have
       been combined into this program by Julian Gilbey.
