Wrong tag in EL-5 branch (?)

[Xavier Lamien]

Hello,

When tried to make tag EL-5 branch, i fallen on this following error :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[SmootherFrOgZ@lxtbuild EL-5]$ make tag
cvs tag  -c g-wrap-1_9_9-5_fc9
ERROR: The tag g-wrap-1_9_9-5_fc9 is already applied on a different branch
ERROR: You can not forcibly move tags between branches
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had to proceed as follow to fix this :
HEAD_BRANCH=EL-5 make tag

If someone else could perform an make tag action to check this, it'd be
great.

Thx,

The user notting deleted the file "branch", I guess by accident:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/g-wrap/EL-5/?hideattic=0

You need to create it with:
echo EL-5 >> branch
in the EL-5 subdir. Otherwise the Makefile does not know which branch it is 
in.

I could see that the Makefile.common's looking for file branch and if it
doesn't find it set $HEAD_BRANCH to devel branch as default branch.

It wouldn't be more simple to print an error message instead of set it to
devel if this file is missing ?

Not really since devel does not have branch files since it is not branched.

Undelete the "branch" file. Put "EL-5" in it.
Compare with your EL-4 branch if you are unsure.
I could help, but ACLs are in place.
