If you are checking out sources to a Windows workstation and if you are using normal Windows tools then it is *dangerous* to use the flag you have used. The only reason I can see that this would be used is if you need some *ix-based tool to use the file (on Windows) and it cannot handle the CRLF line endings. But this is *very* seldom the case and if you check out using this option, then use a Windows editor to modify the file then commit it to cvs you have a high risk of getting a file in the repository that has corrupted line endings. This is probably because there is not a corresponding flag for commit as you have for checkout so the file will go into the repo with erroneous line endings. This was discussed at length only a week or so ago. Please search the archives. /Bo -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org]On Behalf Of Christian Kasper Sent: den 26 januari 2005 12:45 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] cvsnt on pc against a cvs remote repository on solarisusing pserver hallo, i am using cvsnt vers. 2.0.41a with WinCVS 1.3.17.2 aginst a remote repository on a solaris machine using cvs 1.11.13, my connection method is pserver. i learned to use 'Checkout text files with unix lf' (WinCVS Admin Menu - Preferences/Global) -- ok. but some files appear as 'modified' in WinCVS, on the solaris machine i try cvs status on these files, and they are not modified! do you know the reason for this? is my configuration dangerous? thank you christian _______________________________________________ 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
