RE: [Non-DoD Source] Re: CVS lock issue

Could it be possible that two developers tried to tag the file at the same =
time?  I thought CVS handled that situation.

Could it be possible that one developer created the lock and a second one w=
as not able to do that (file exists).  I thought the first developer would =
have created  the #cvs.lock directory making the second developer wait to e=
ven access the <path> directory.

Thanks,
Steve

The file is no longer there.  This error occurred on Feb 01 according to a =
log file we maintain.  We just noticed that the entire module did not get t=
agged.  Could it be that a subsequent process to that area of the module al=
ready removed the lock sometime between then and now?

I wish the file was still there, but it's not.

Why would a lock file not get deleted?

Thanks,
Steve

Have a look into the file, especially the date and time. Is it (very) old?

There might have been an older operation that did not correctly finish, and=
 the lock file has been left over. In this case, the lock file would be rat=
her old. I would consider removing it by hand, then.

If it is not old, then something else is going on, and I would refrain from=
 removing it.

HTH,
Spiro.
