After having one too many commits be rejected by having trailing whitespace, I wrote a script that runs reindent.py over all .py files that are to be checked in. But since there are other things that one should be aware of when creating a patch I let people know if they edited anything in the Doc directory, Misc/ACKS, and Misc/NEWS.
There are a couple of things I would like to see the command gain. One is to detect if any files (outside of Doc) have changed since the last run of regrtest. That would require writing out a file, though, so one can at least stat the file to get the modification time. Do people have any issues with the idea? I would also like to more or less codify whether a patch means someone needs to be added to Misc/ACKS or not. I should be able to run ``svn diff`` to get the output and see if enough lines have changed. Could then write it out to a common file so that one does not need to run the command again if the patch is needed. Lastly, I would like to have it strip trailing whitespace in C files. The only problem is that I don't know if removing trailing whitespace could possibly cause a problem or not. Anyone know? -Brett _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
