RCS

RCS is used by JSPWiki as a provider version control.

There have been some problems with RCS locking which has meant:-

• Some files haven't been editable.
• Some files version history doesn't get updated.

This happened when I changed the user that tomcat runs as. To resolve the problem I've:-

1. rcs -U *
   1. switch strict locking off so that we can steal locks from the user tomcat used to run as.
2. rcs -M -u *
   1. unlock all the pages so that everythings clean.

The second time around I've not done the following steps, this allows OliBye to appear as a recent change at last!

1. rcs -l *
   1. lock all the pages as the user that tomcat now runs as.
2. rcs -U *
   1. switch strict locking back on
