A month ago I accidentally send my reply privately to Thomas - instead of to the list. Sorry, here it is.

How many common settings we have? How many settings are usually different among programmers? I assume that Eclipse projects use relative paths. Keeping common settings in repo makes sense. One has just to be careful to not commit his own customizations to repo. CVS and Subversion can be set to "locally" ignore a file - the file will be updated from repo but will not be offered in commit dialog. Keeping working project file for an IDE is a message to newcomers that: * simulavr is known to work under the IDE * the hard work of creating a project file is already done (often it is a pain) * some simulavr coder is available to help with simulavr-specific IDE quirks So yeah, good idea. (It would be even better if Eclipse project files did contain a comment saying they are Eclipse project files.) -- Petr Hluzin _______________________________________________ Simulavr-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/simulavr-devel
