Tagging projects

In order to have your tag usable by guest users you must perform an action using this tag as a user who has authorization to write to your project.

For example, if you tag your project with RELEASE_0_1:
$ cvs tag RELEASE_0_1

You should then change to a new directory and perform an action utilizing that tag; for example, it's common to want an export of your source at that particular tag:

$ cvs -d :pserver:user@mozdev.org:/cvs export -r RELEASE_0_1 -d project-0.1 project/src

After this you will be able to perform the same command from the guest user:

$ cvs -d :pserver:guest@mozdev.org:/cvs export -r RELEASE_0_1 -d project-0.1 project/src

For an explanation of why this is necessary, look for the error "no such tag tag" at this page of list of CVS error messages.
