I looked at the problem. I believe the problem creped in when the conversion from CVS to SVN was done -- though I need more investigation. I'm currently at a place where I cannot work (I can read mails for about 15min a day). I'll be at working place next week. | Concerning storing binary files in the Axiom CVS and SVN archives | I think we should at least make it work correctly as it is before | we consider removing the binary files from the archive since if | the parameters are set correctly, this is supposed to work. After | it is working properly as is, we can then consider changing it to | eliminated the binary files for philosophical and efficiency | reasons. I agree. | In the SourceForge Axiom CVS archive I have set the binary mode | for all the *.tgz files in the zips directory using the command: | | cvs admin -kb | | as described here: | | http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Programming/change_management/unix_cvs/PRO | GRAMMING_Working_with_Binary_Files.shtml | | I have also requested a 'refresh' of the SourceForge Axiom SVN | from CVS, so that should correct the binary files problem and | permit Axiom to be build from the SVN archive.
