Martin, In my experience this a pervasive problem but it appears that this is being addresed so I will wait to see how it goes. The other case I have seen where this is an issue is with the source downlaods where CVS is is not involved. In that case it is very likely that the line feeds will not match the downloader's system. For me it is convenient to have a mechanism for fixing the line ends, but I am obviously in the minority here.

CVS is very much involved when the release manager obtains the sources from CVS in order to build the source distribution. If a developer checked in a source file with the wrong line ends, that is what the release manager will get, and thus what the source distribution will contain. The only thing that needs fixing is the developer who commits changes to the code base from a different platform than they checked out from. -- Martin Cooper -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
