Subj: 	Re: Submit failed -- or did it?

I looked at the RCS file.  Everything seems to be in order.  For some, reason
the RCS file was in use at the time of your submit [possibly a backingtree
marking or something].  The only thing I think you need to do at this point
is outdate your files.

Tina and all,  why did bsubmit complete the rest of its operations if it
got the RCS error?  The SNAPSHOT, bsubmit.log and the file itself were all
updated, yet bsubmit said that it was in an intermediate state?  This seems
wrong...

Subject: Submit failed -- or did it?

I just tried a submit to the v32supportos pool.  The file appears to be
updated in the backing tree, but given all this stuff, I'm not sure
everything is right.  Here's what happened:

% bsubmit -all

hi john,

would you enter a PTT for this.

as you said, the error arises when the file is in the middle of another
RCS operation e.g. markrcs.  although we have not seen this with bsubmit
very often.

one thing to check is to go to the rcs tree and do an

ls -a *fp_result*

if you get more than 1 file back, the file other than the ,v file
for fp_result is the RCS lock file.  this file should not be there unless
there is an RCS operation in progress which means that it should have a
pretty recent time stamp on it.

this is a tough one to track because bsubmit does a number of RCS operations.

Jo, also, don't the logs (bsubmit.log & SNAPSHOT/DEFUNCT) got modified
before the outdate phase, leaving only the bsubmit.hold for the end.

I'm curious as to whether the hold file was empty or not; it is now.

hi josh,

you're right.  the log files, busbmit.log, SNAPSHOT, and DEFUNCT are
updated before the outdate is done.
