John Sisson updated GERONIMO-1286: ---------------------------------- Description: Previously, the line endings on files in a Geronimo distribution were based upon the platform the distribution was built on. The zip distribution now has CRLF line endings for viewable/editable text files (except for *.sh files) and therefore is targeted at windows users. The tar.gz distribution now has LF line endings for non-Windows platforms. All non-Windows users should use the tar.gz file as the tar file also contains permission settings for the files. was: Previously, the line endings on files in a Geronimo distribution were based upon the platform the distribution was built on. The build needs to be improved so that no matter what platform Geronimo is built on: * the resulting distributions should contain the same files (no files excluded) * the resulting zip distribution should have CRLF line endings for viewable/editable text files and therefore is targeted at windows users. * the resulting tar.gz distribution should have LF line endings for non-Windows platforms. All non-Windows users should use the tar.gz file as the tar file also contains permission settings for the files. > Have CRLF line endings for zip distribution and LF line endings for tar.gz > distribution > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-1286 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1286 > Project: Geronimo > Type: Improvement > Components: usability > Versions: 1.0 > Reporter: John Sisson > Assignee: John Sisson > Fix For: 1.0 > > Previously, the line endings on files in a Geronimo distribution were based > upon the platform the distribution was built on. > The zip distribution now has CRLF line endings for viewable/editable text > files (except for *.sh files) and therefore is targeted at windows users. > The tar.gz distribution now has LF line endings for non-Windows platforms. > All non-Windows users should use the tar.gz file as the tar file also > contains permission settings for the files. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
