That is a good question to ask - do we care if the line endings in distributions are consistent or meet any kind of standard? Most tools (other than NotePad on Windows and maybe some others) hide the difference, so maybe we should not care. One thing that we might want to care about is if eol=native implies that all line endings in files like this end up CRLF when we create distros from Windows (likely, but I have not personally confirmed this), that could add needlessly to the size of the src distributions. IIRC, we used to essentially require lf line endings on source files, but that was before svn arrived with eol=native possible. The [poll] did not get much response, so maybe there is no interest in making things uniform. > > > *) And I dont know why we should fix all bugs, its not very productive > > to mark all bugs as "later" and after the release revert the status again. > > You don't have to fix all bugs, but the number and kind of bugs solved / > still open > can be a good indicator of how the project is doing. > > Mvgr, > Martin > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
