---- [i] change set feature-file-locking
created by wagner at 2000.08.05.14.17.28 description: Elego
ComPact now supports file locking. The basic locking scheme
defaults to locking of binary files only; this can be changed to
all or none files (vc-locking in compactrc) by default.
The GUI has been extended by the following functions:
Strict locking may also be explicitly enabled or disabled for
individual files or directories. Locks may are acquired by using
Lock|Edit, and are freed with every Commit or Release. Changes may
also be reverted by using Revert. All editors of
files/directories/packages may be listed with ShowEditors. The
Edit form in the header misc frame has been extended by a
lock/don't option.
More GUI changes:
The change set functions have got some new buttons, and the text input
field for changeset names has been replaced by a selection list.
An xthml function to list all change sets (prjChangeSets) has been
added to the server.
The ComPact GUI now allows selection of editors based on filename
extensions and/or regular expressions matching file names
(httpd-editor-EXT and filename-editor-mapping in compactrc).
A bug inhibiting the correct expansion of empty `F' fields in HTTP
queries into the list of selected files has been fixed.
The command line utilities pkgm and pkgvm have also been extended:
Strict locking may also be explicitly enabled or disabled for individual
files or directories (command options -(no)strictlocking).
Locks are acquired by using -lock|-edit, and freed with every -commit
or -release. Changes may also be reverted by using -revert|-unedit.
All editors of files/directories/packages may be listed with -editors.

---- [i] change set feature-file-locking-2
created by wagner at 2000.08.12.16.45.52
description:
file locking should now be much more usable:
o files are checked if they are readonly by the GUI
o filename handling has been much improved for editing commands
in the GUI
o appropriate error pages are displayed by the GUI if files cannot
be locked
o pkgvm and pkgm now also call an appropriate editor if -edit
is used
o a bug has been fixed in pkg_vc concerning the interpretation of
relative file names (which were considered to be relative to the
current working directory, and are now also considered to be
relative to the package root)

description:
changes:

---- [] change set feature-improved-editor-listing
created by wagner at 2000.08.18.16.59.53
description:
pkgm, pkgvm:
The listing of editors has been proved. Specifying -l now also provides
information about file, user, date, and host.
Missing documentation for log options (-TRL) has been added.
ComPactHTTPd:
VCShowEditors now includes -l for long listing

---- [p] change set feature-external-commit-hook
created by wagner at 2000.09.03.15.57.06
description:
Commit messages for all commit and release operations are now checked,
if the value `external-commit-hook' is defined in the environment
(i.e. present in compactrc).
The variables msg, msgfn, pkgname, pkgroot, user, repository, and all
other elements of the environment will be substituted in the
command. The standard ComPact variable syntax must be used ({?name},
{:name}, {!name}). The command needs to be escaped in compactrc by
starting it with an exclamation mark.
The commit message is accepted if the external command returns 0.
An escape syntax has been implemented that allows to keep variables
unsubstituted in values after reading in compactrc resources. Just
start the value with `!'.
Further commit check hooks that perform more sophisticated checks
internally will be implemented in future versions.
package changes:
compactrc devel_compactrc_d15_0_0 devel_compactrc_d16_0_0
pkg_vc devel_pkg=vc_d36_2_2 devel_pkg=vc_d37_0_0
---- [p] change set feature-external-commit-hook-extensions
created by wagner at 2000.09.05.11.01.04
description:
There are now several more external hooks that are checked for different
actions:
package-commit -> external-package-commit-hook
package-release -> external-package-release-hook
project-snapshot -> external-project-snapshot-hook
project-release -> external-project-release-hook
project-change-set -> external-project-change-set-hook
If one of the above hooks is not set, but external-commit-hook is
defined, this is used as the default.
In the external command specified in compactrc to check the commit or
log message, three additional variables may be specified:
action action name as above
name name of the new version, snapshot, release, or change set
id request id extracted from the log message, if present
For the creation of change sets, the order of commit message requests
and checks has been changed: Now the change set message is requested
first (before any committing takes place), and it may be re-used as local
commit message.
package changes:
prjm devel_prjm_d24_0_2 devel_prjm_d25_0_1
pkg_vc devel_pkg=vc_d37_0_0 devel_pkg=vc_d38_0_0
---- [f] change set fix-checkout-performance-1
created by wagner at 2000.09.25.13.59.45
description:
Due to a recent bug fix for CVS versions that leave over Entries.Log
files at checkout time, a recursive cvs log command was performed for
the complete collection at every package checkout. This is somewhat
overkill, since we are only interested in the package itself and the
immediate parent directory.
This fix adds `local' default parameter to several procedures of the
CVS module and uses this feature to issue two more specific log
commands instead of the former global one.
package changes:
pkg_vc devel_pkg=vc_d38_0_1 devel_pkg=vc_d38_1_0
---- [f] change set fix-version-control-standard-output
created by wagner at 2000.11.20.15.33.53
description:
Several changes concerned with the default output behaviour of version
control actions:
o make standard output independent of trace option (-q) option, so that
logs, diffs etc. are output unconditionally in pkgm and pkgvm
o add -q to diff commands in PkgBase.DefaultData
package changes:
pkgvm devel_pkgvm_d13_1_2 devel_pkgvm_d13_1_3
pkg_build devel_pkg=build_d28_3_3 devel_pkg=build_d28_3_4
pkg_base devel_pkg=base_d27_1_2 devel_pkg=base_d27_1_3
---- [f] change set fix-pkgvm-arbitrary-tag-names
created by wagner at 2000.11.20.17.22.15
description:
Accidentally, the suffix [undefined_format] that was created for
informational purposes only, found its way into the CVS repository
as part of an tag name. This should now be fixed.
package changes:
pkg_vc devel_pkg=vc_d38_1_7 devel_pkg=vc_d38_1_8
---- [f] change set fix-clean-shipping+release-precond
created by wagner at 2000.12.12.15.03.39
description:

request id 103, request id 106
fix: pkgm leaves cruft of previous version in pool
fix: pkgm -rel: failure on locally removed files
fix: pkgm -rel: failure on locally added files

---- [f] change set fix_log_message_cleanup
created by wagner at 2000.12.10.16.43.07
description:
cleanup of log message handling for package commits, releases,
project change sets, project snapshots and releases, and project stable
configurations:
o PKG: lines are now always removed from the message (there were some
cases where they were left inside)
o appropriate local commit messages are now always suggested by the
project manager
o local commit messages are extended if necessary by some action
related information by the project manager
