It's a case of dueling operating systems where forrest (incorrectly but harmlessly) generates files slightly differently on Windows vs. Unix and Mac. I last described the issue here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-dev/200602.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Probably the revert wording in DerbySnapshotOrRelease was picked up from that post. I've been reverting changes (or trying to revert) because I'm the only Linux builder I'm aware of. But in the big web site reorg back in April I committed all changes, so this would cause the diffs to show up for the next builder on Windows. In fact, it's actually ok to commit those changes. Diffs will be generated for the next person who builds on a different operating system. I don't feel that I have any better handle on this than when I last posted, but I'll check the forrest list for recent activity on the topic, then update derby_web.html with what I do know. Just out of curiosity, what platform are you building on? --You have a slightly different list than what I have seen in the past, but I still wouldn't worry about it. I'd just go ahead and commit it. -jean
