Re: [OctDev] admin/mk{doc,texi} and multiple Octave versions.

[David B. <Dav...@mo...>]

Hi Etienne,

This is exactly the procedure I tried. I did it again just to prove that this
doesn't work, and got the message

cvs server: re-adding file mkdoc (in place of dead revision 1.5)
cvs server: re-adding file mktexi (in place of dead revision 1.5)
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to add these files permanently

What happened was the file was sent to the Attic directory in the RCS and
revived when the file was re-added, with the OLD permissions. I read in
the manual for cvs that "cvs commit -f" would submit permission changes
but this didn't work either.

So unless someone has RCS access on sourceforge, the old solution I see 
is to rename these files. What a major pain!!!!
