We are in a mixed Linux/Windows/Cygwin environment: our servers are Linux based, and network home drives shared through Samba. The repository is NOT CVSNT based. Most desktop boxes are windows based, and we have a Linux based cluster for analog circuit simulations. All of our windows machines feature TortoiseCVS and Cygwin's cvs. We keep bash and perl scripts as well as our simulation files on the repository as a way to implement "quality control" on our designs. Since our home drives are the same in the Linux and windows environments, it often happens that users first checkout a module with Tortoise, and then after switch to the Linux cluster to submit their jobs. These involve scripts downloaded from the repository, and they won't launch if CRLFs are found in the files. We don't fear any CRCRLF problems since our server performs a dos2unix filtering into incoming text files. I know the simple way to address this is to checkout modules with the unix flavoured version of cvs (not cvsnt), but most of our users are not computer hackers and are quite pleased with Tortoise. (I must admit I do myself appreciate the colored Icons). Another question then: I managed to get cvs to work on a dummy test sandbox checked out with cvsnt client by performing a dos2unix conversion on the files in the CVS directory. Do you see any real danger in doing this?

Yes there is, but you want to be *VERY* sure that you know all the implications before you try this! Please describe your setup and why you don't want the files to check out with the proper line endings for the platform they are checked out to. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden) _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
