Wanting to tag my newly commited module.
Greetings all, I have just committed my first module, and have arrived at the point where I need to tag it. After 4 hours of searching and reading of forums, cvs man pages, etc. I have come to the conclusion that there is something I do not understand. Simply stated, I have attempted every logical combinations of options for both "cvs tag" and "cvs rtag". My attempts have all failed with: --- start of error --- Invalid tag for /contributions/modules/easylinks. cvs rtag: Pre-tag check failed cvs [rtag aborted]: correct the above errors first! --- end of error --- I have also attempted to use a GUI (Cervisia) in order to achieve this. The result was exactly the same. Is there perhaps something I need to do between committing my module and tagging it, that I am missing? Regards, Athelas

The instructions I used to do this are in /contributions/FAQ.txt.
Try this from the contributions directory:
cvs tag -b DRUPAL-4-7 modules/mymodule
*Alex Chapman* | /Software Engineer/
NOTE that "cvs tag -b' BRANCHES your module as well as tagging the branch. Be sure this is what you want to do. If I recall correctly, Drupal policy is to not allow additional "point" tags on contrib files, including modules. ..chrisxj
Thank you all, I finally managed it with: cvs tag DRUPAL-4-7 modules/easylinks I now understand the original error message, suffice it to say that this is one of those "kick yourself" moments. Regards, Athelas
