And I certainly don't have an issue with him investigating why he's getting this anomalous behavior. The issue is whether there is a problem with the James build. Paul concluded that there is. I'm sure he's wrong, and I've given my reasons. Until and unless some one can counter those reasons, I'm going to assume that it's an issue with Paul's environment. I asked for Paul to be more restrained in his commits, filtering them by eye rather than trusting his CVS client. That way he doesn't make more work for the other committers and clutter up the CVS logs. Honestly, I don't think that's unreasonable. > I know that I used to see that CRLF problem with build.bat all the time > because it didn't have the CRLF in the CVS.

You know the tab issue isn't related. The CVS source files are not supposed to contain tabs, and hence a recent modification to the build was designed to ensure that they were eliminated from the source files. This was intended to eliminate the need for the committers to crawl through the files removing tabs. It was a recent addition and required a few commits to get spurious tabs out of CVS. Once that was done, running a build didn't introduce any new diffs. No one is contending that the build doesn't change source files. It does, but does so in a well defined way that is clear from the Ant tasks. And I also contend that those Ant tasks are correct. --Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
