I can explain the png differences (though I can't fix them). And it's possible David already explained this in a followup; if so, my apologies.

I mentioned some operating system differences when building forrest on the dev list last August: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/forrest-dev/200508.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] .


Ah, one of the many things that i intended to
follow up on. Sorry.

no apology needed.

Would you please provide a list of the images problems.
I have seen them occur elsewhere but never been able
to track down the cause.

they are all under site-publish/skin :

$ svn status
M      images/rc-t-l-5-1header-2tab-selected-3tab-selected.png
M      images/rc-t-l-5-1header-2searchbox-3searchbox.png

- Somebody modified source but didn't publish the changes, so the next
person somes along and sees unexpected changes on the publish side.


Yes always a problem. This can usually be seen by following
the svn commits mailing list for the particular project.

I'd just say this is an issue that warrants education -- and applies to any publishing system.



- Differences when using a different release of forrest (in my case this produced such a huge change I knew something was wrong)


We are trying to minimise such changes in output
formatting, but that will still be a problem.

Again, I think education is key here.



- Another issue that causes line-endings problems
arises when committers do not configure their svn client.

yep, that's a good one as well to add to the list.
