General Board / CVS Lockout
« on: April 09, 2008, 12:33:03 am »
Hi,
I've got a package in my model which EA will not allow me to checkout (the model is stored in a CVS repository); only the Check In Branch option is enabled under the Package Control checkin/out options.
When I select "Update Package Status..." it states that "Current package and contained elements are checked in and may not be edited".
When I look at CVS natively it doesn't believe anyone has a lock which leads me to beleive EA is maintaining a locking state somewhere.
I noticed in the EA t_packages table there is a PackageFlags column which seems to store locking type information. In desperation, I hacked into this table and reset the entry for the troublesome package to the same value as a package I am able to checkout, however this did not solve the problem.
Any Ideas???
Many Thanks Andy
