.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.I \*(n)
.I -New_ReLeaSe
command is used to
create a new project from an existing project.
.I "It creates a new post-3.0 project from an old pre-3.0 project."
.PP
\fBPlease Note:\fP If your old-style project does not have a version
number in the project name, you \fImust\fP supply a new project name,
otherwise you will get an error.  (If you want to re-use the old project
name, you need to rename the old project, and then use \fIaenrls\fP to
create a new new-style project with the old name.  See the HOWTO for
how to change a project's name.)
.PP
This command was essential before the introduction of branches into the
Aegis model.  It is more useful to create a new release of a project by
ending development on the branch of the previous release and starting
development of a new branch numbered for the desired release.
.PP
Once you have a new-style project, use the
.IR aenbr (1)
command to create new branches on this project.
This provides more efficient release management,
and allows historical versions to be reproduced more simply.
.PP
If no
.I new-project-name
is specified,
it will be derived from the project given as follows:
any minor version dot suffix will be removed from the name,
then
any major version dot suffix will be removed from the name.
A major version dot suffix will be appended, and then
a minor version dot suffix will be appended.
As an example, "foo.1.0" would become "foo.1.1" assuming
the default minor version increment,
and "foo" would become "foo.1.1" assuming the same minor version
increment.
.PP
The entire project baseline will be copied.
The project state will be as if change 1 had already been integrated,
naming every file (in the old project) as a new file.
The history files will reflect this.
No build will be necessary;
it is assumed that the old baseline was built successfully.
Change numbers will commence at 2,
as will build numbers.
Test numbers will commence where the old project left off
(because all the earlier test numbers were used by the old project).
.PP
The default is for the minor version number to be incremented.
If the major version number is incremented or set,
the minor version number will be set to zero if it is not explicitly
given.
.PP
The pointer to the new project will be added to the first element
of the search path,
or
.I \*(S)
if none is set.
If this is inappropriate, use the
.B -LIBrary
option to explicitly set the desired location.
See the
.B -LIBrary
option for more information.
.PP
The project directory,
under which the project baseline and history and
state and change data are kept,
will be created at this time.
If the
.B -DIRectory
option is not given,
the project directory will be created in the
directory specified by the default_\%project_\%directory field of
the project user's
.IR aeuconf (5),
or if not set
in project user's home directory;
in either case with the same name as the project.
.PP
All staff will be copied from the old project to the new project
without change,
as will all of the project attributes.

.SH THE BASELINE LOCK
The baseline lock is used to ensure that the baseline remains in a
consistent state for the duration of commands which need to read the
contents of files in the baseline.
.PP
The commands which require the baseline to be consistent
(these include the
.IR aeb (1),
.IR aecp (1)
and
.IR aed (1)
commands)
take a baseline
.I read
lock.
This is a non-exclusive lock,
so the concurrent development of changes is not hindered.
.PP
The command which modifies the baseline,
.IR aeipass (1),
takes a baseline
.I write
lock.
This is an exclusive lock,
forcing
.IR aeipass (1)
to block until there are no active baseline read locks.
.PP
It is possible that
one of the above development commands
will block until an in-progress
.I "\*(n) -Integrate_PASS"
completes.
This is usually of short duration while the project history is updated.
The delay is essential so that these commands receive a consistent view
of the baseline.
No other integration command will cause the above development commands
to block.
.PP
When \*(n)' branch functionality is in use,
a read (non-exclusive) lock is taken on the branch baseline and also
each of the "parent" baselines.
However,
a baseline write (exclusive) lock is only taken on the branch baseline;
the "parent" baselines are only read (non-exclusive) locked.

\fBPlease Note:\fP Aegis also consults the underlying file system, to
determine its notion of maximum file size.  Where the file system's
maximum file size is less than \fImaximum_filename_length\fP, the
filesystem wins.  This can happen, for example, when you are using the
Linux UMSDOS file system, or when you have an NFS mounted an ancient
V7 filesystem.  Setting \fImaximum_filename_length\fP to 255 in these
cases does not alter the fact that the underlying file systems limits
are far smaller (12 and 14, respectively).
.PP
If your development directories (or your whole project) is on filesystems
with filename limitations, or a portion of the heterogeneous builds take
place in such an environment, it helps to tell Aegis what they are (using
the project \fIconfig\fP file's fields) so that you don't run into the
situation where the project builds on the more permissive environments,
but fails with mysterious errors in the more limited environments.
.PP
If your development directories are routinely on a Linux
UMSDOS filesystem, you would probably be better off setting
\fIdos_filename_required = true\fP,
and also changing the \fIdevelopment_directory_template\fP field.
Heterogeneous development with various Windows environments may
also require this.

It is an error if the current user does not have appropriate permissions
to create the directory path given.
This must be an absolute path.
.PP
Caution:
If you are using an automounter
do not use `pwd` to make an absolute path,
it usually gives the wrong answer.

case is not important.

the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are
all interpreted to mean the \fB-Project\fP option.
