It was quite tedious checking the 4.0.1 release because of spurious
variations between the tgz and zip archives.
Apart from the LF/CRLF line ending differences, which are easy to
allow for, there are quite a lot of files in the ZIP archive that have
an additional CRLF at the end. This can be fixed by adding
fixlast="false"
Sebastian,
Just go ahead and fix obvious issues without too much of a protocol.
to the Ant script which repackages the zip file.
BTW, the Ant script is not suitable for use on Windows, because it
only fixes the zip file.
It ought to be changed to detect the EOL type and fix the appropriate archive.
How can one reliably detect the EOL type of an archive with ant or
maven? Can you elaborate?
The $HeadURL:$ SVN markers can cause problems when comparing the
source archive with the tag unless one uses the same URL as the
builder used.
HeadURL causes major problems when comparing SVN checkouts.
I think the markers should be removed (or disabled).
Similarly, the $Date:$ SVN marker causes problems when comparing
files, because the date is expressed as a local date. This can be
allowed for in automated comparisons, but is still a nuisance. IMO,
the benefits of having the Date outweigh the disadvantages. If one
really needs the date, then consider using $Id which uses UTC, for
example:
$Id: calc.c 148 2006-07-28 21:30:43Z sally $
Let's just get rid of those in trunk. Hopefully there will be no need
for another release off the 4.0.x branch.
