It's a good idea to include the --verbose flag, as in the example above, to save as much information as possible.
Still To Do
- test adequately Creating next HEAD tag has been tested for Toy-scons DONE Testing deemed adequate as of March 10, 2011.
- add as output a file which lists all the packages and their tags belonging to the new tag just created. The file probably should go at the top level (e.g., in the ScienceTools-scons directory). One possibility in the new-HEAD case is to create it after the temp. tag has been made, submit to CVS, move temp tag to the new version, then make the final new HEAD tag. However, if we plan to also support tag collecting from RMViewer, it would have to go through a similar procedure. DONE The file is called packageList.txt.
- add ability to make release tags along a branch DONE As of version 1.19.
Sticky Points
The way CVS tagging is currently set up (in particular, the script $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/tagger), you would have to be logged in as glast or glastrm to run the script in "for real" mode.
Proposal: Modify tagger script to allow creation and deletion of tmp tags with names satisfying a pattern. Should be something like HEAD pattern except replace HEAD with string HEADtmp, possibly HEADtmp<stuff> where <stuff> is an arbitrary and optional alphanumeric string if, e.g., we want to distinguish different attempts of creating HEAD of a particular version. DONE but, as of 1.11, temp tags are no longer used.

Sticky Points
Certain assumptions are hard-coded in the script when, ideally, they should come from the RM database: for example, exact format of tags. These things don't change very fast, if at all, but if they do, someone will have to remember to update the script.
