Re: [Fwbuilder-discussion] revision control

[Luc P. <pau...@gm...>]

I did find a workaround to fork a version 2.x from a another version...
Here's how it can be done...

1. Check out the revision you want to fork to a new version
        # co -r1.36.1.10 firewall.fwb
2. Copy the check out version to another name
        # cp firewall.fwb firewall_1.36.1.10.fwb
3. Check out and lock the latest version you have in the in you rcs
versioning
        # co -l1.37 firewall.fwb
4. Copy back the previous version over
        #  cp firewall_1.36.1.10.fwb firewall.fwb
5. Check in the file to the RCS with higer revision number
        #  ci -r2 firewall.fwb

Then when openning fwbuilder you should see a new fork starting at version
2.1 made from the 1.36.1.10
