I already released 1.4.0a1 of Net_FTP, which is in the MAIN branch of CVS. Now there is a bug in 1.3.4 which needs to get fixed in 1.3.5. On [1] I read: go into the Net_FTP directory and execute "cvs rtag -b -r RELEASE_1_3_4 MAINT_1_3_4". The command does not work. You need to specify the module name (i.e. Net_FTP) in the argument list.
What I want is a branch for the 1.3 branch of the package. How do I do this? Here is an alternative approach:
You can "rewind" your local repository to the 1.3.4 release using "cvs up -rRELEASE_1_3_4" and then create your branch using "cvs tag -b MAINT_1_3_4". Christian
