Category: Macintosh Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Sjoerd Mullender (sjoerd) Assigned to: Just van Rossum (jvr) Summary: cvs update warnings Initial Comment: On Windows, when you do "cvs update" in the "Mac/IDE scripts" directory, you get the following warnings (example uses Cygwin, but it also happens with other CVS clients): $ cd "Mac/IDE scripts"; cvs update ? Hold option to open a script ? Insert file name ? Insert folder name ? Search Python Documentation ? Hack/Remove .pyc files ? Hack/Toolbox Assistant cvs server: Updating . cvs server: Updating Hack cvs server: Updating Widget demos $ This is due to the fact that Windows can't deal with periods at the end of file names. All files giving warnings end in "...". These periods are removed when the files get created, and so CVS sees the files without periods and complains about them. At one level the solution is simple: rename those files. At another level, I don't know what the consequences are for the Mac, so assigning to Just (Jack doesn't seem to want to deal with this :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2006-10-07 15:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Mac/IDE scripts is gone, so is CVS. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nick Coghlan (ncoghlan) Date: 2004-07-04 20:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1038590 The leading spaces on some filenames are causing Eclipse to choke on the checkout, too (I'm guessing the spaces are there to get the right sequencing of the filenames). One possibility that would give a minimal change is to prepend and append underscores to all of the filenames, then modify the code that reads these files to remove the first and last character before performing the same parsing it does now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sjoerd Mullender (sjoerd) Date: 2003-09-09 07:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=43607 It's now past 2.3 final, so can you look into this again? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sjoerd Mullender (sjoerd) Date: 2003-07-02 03:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=43607 I've lived with this for years. A few more weeks won't matter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Just van Rossum (jvr) Date: 2003-07-02 02:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=92689 Any objections to postponing this to after 2.3 final? The thing is, currently these file names map to menu items directly, and to fix this I have to build a way to specify the menu item from within the file. This will cause way more changes than I'm comfortable with, just before 2.3. Removing the spaces from folder names can be done at the same time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=764447&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
