308.0. "Functional equivalent of incbaselevel" by SMURF::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Wed Sep 08 1993 17:25

Subj: 	Functional equivalent of incbaselevel

Hi,
	Since incbaselevel is no longer supported in ODE V2.0, what
do I need to run to get the same functionality. This info is not
documented! Locus Computing needs to know this ASAP!

Thanks in advance,

Rich

Rich,

The replacement of incbaselevel is shorten_branch. If there's other information
not in the manpage that you need, please let us know at ode@rust or decwet::ode.

Mike,
	Does shorten_branch other than shortening the branches:

		- Mark the RCS tree with a baselevel string?
		- Increment the revision level number(s)?

	I am told that incbaselevel did all of the above.

Thanks in advance,

Rich

Rich,

You need to run markrcs after running shorten_branch. I'm not positive, but I
don't think incbaselevel did this. markrcs will mark the tree with the baselevel
name.

If you run 'shorten_branch -number 1' then you should end up with 1 (or 2
maybe) revisions on the next higher branch of each file.

When shorten_branch runs, it complains when it finds ".BCSlock". The problem
is that shorten_branch is placing .BCSlock in the tree.

In version 2.0 of ODE the release notes states that incbaselevel is no
longer supported. Is there a replacement procedure that provides the same
functionality that incbaselevel had?  I am supporting Locus Computing
(unofficially) and they need to know this.
