hallo, i am sorry, i am desribing my environment not correctly. i am working in a sandbox on a solaris machine, using cvs 1.11.13. i want to use this sandox with WinCVS via a network drive(like R:\). in this case, i think, the option 'Checkout text files with unix lf' makes sense (????), because i am working via network drive on a *nix filesystem. i can see my solaris sandbox in WinCVS but many, not all, files under cvs control have a 'Modified' state. ok, i check these files local in the sandbox on solaris server, the cvs status command tells me *Up-to-date*. when i use the diff command local and with WinCVS, no differences appear. i try to update -A these -shown as Modified files-, that solves my problem, but is this the right way to do it or is it dangerous to my repository?? why these files are shown as modified? thank you christian --------------- 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.
