Yes, I'm not immune to irony. But it does raise a serious point. The reason the computational geoscience buildbot builds in a path with spaces was to be a proxy for Windows "Program Files" or "Documents and Settings" build and runtime failures caused by poor URL handling and similar nonportable behaviour. My Windows-using colleagues also functioned as canaries, but the former Win32 opengeo build was an even better way of providing platform coverage.
I was hoping that preserving your original subject would at least increase the chance of getting Rini and Victor's attention. :-) On 19/08/11 09:48, Michael Bedward wrote: > Um, just want to point out that the subject was a joke > > Michael > > > On 19 August 2011 11:42, Ben Caradoc-Davies<ben.caradoc-dav...@csiro.au> > wrote: >> Rini and Victor both develop on Windows.
