Description Matthias Andree 2005-11-07 10:00:29 UTC
cvsupchk ships in cvsup's contrib/ directory, but it's more widely useful to
help users clean up if they created a mess by changing the *default tag
without copying or renaming the old checkouts file.

This port is supposed to make installing cvsupchk more easy for users
and put it under package management.

In the long run, perhaps cvsup itself could refuse to work without a checkouts
file and, as additional safeguard against repo corruption and missed deletions,
print a message such as "If you've changed your default tag, remember to rename
your existing checkouts file. If you've changed your base directory, remember
to copy or move your existing checkouts file. If you have no prior checkouts
file, just touch checkouts[:tag]." (jdp Cc'd).

This is the pkg-descr:

| "cvsupchk is a python script that checks a CVSup maintained directory
| hierarchy against the corresponding CVSup checkouts file. It looks for
| a number of anomalies: missing checked out files, deleted files being
| present, extra RCS files, 'dead' directories being present and so on."
