Package: kdevelop Version: 4:3.4.1-3 Severity: normal kdevelop make up it's mind on how to store empty XML tags (as "<tag></tag>" or as "<tag/>" in the .kdevelop project file.
This is annoying because I track the .kdevelop file in an SCM and I keep seeing meaningless changes which I either have to commit (untidy because it doesn't reflect an actual change), or revert back to the version currently stored in the SCM (annoying to have to do this on a regular basis). For instance, here is a recent "diff" where I didn't actually change anything in the project. I just opened the project in kdevelop: ===== DIFF STARTS HERE ===== diff --git a/player.kdevelop b/player.kdevelop index dcfceef..ffeca90 100644 --- a/player.kdevelop +++ b/player.kdevelop @@ -14,9 +14,9 @@ <ignoreparts/> <projectdirectory>.</projectdirectory> <absoluteprojectpath>false</absoluteprojectpath> - <description></description> + <description/> <projectname>player</projectname> - <defaultencoding></defaultencoding> + <defaultencoding/> </general> <kdevautoproject> <general> @@ -222,7 +222,7 @@ <resolveIncludePathsUsingMakeExperimental>false</resolveIncludePathsUsingMakeExperimental> </codecompletion> <creategettersetter> - <prefixGet></prefixGet> + <prefixGet/> <prefixSet>set</prefixSet> <prefixVariable>m_,_</prefixVariable> <parameterName>theValue</parameterName> @@ -249,11 +249,11 @@ <kdevdebugger> <general> <programargs/> - <gdbpath></gdbpath> + <gdbpath/> <dbgshell>libtool</dbgshell> - <configGdbScript></configGdbScript> - <runShellScript></runShellScript> - <runGdbScript></runGdbScript> ===== DIFF ENDS HERE ===== ie, kdevelop decided to change some of the empty "<tag><tag/>" tags over to "<tag/>". That's fine, but kdevelop will at a later stage change them back to the "<tag><tag/>" layout. Please decide on the most correct format for empty tags and stick to it.
