I had a look if there was an svn:encoding property, or if the mime type
of the file could be set to include an encoding, but unfortunately I
couldn't get either of these to work (the file was always checked out as
EBCDIC).

I have to say it is a little weird.
Is there any chance that we setting the svn client, tell it checkout
by desired encoding?
ASCII in this case.

Hi all,
I have an issue building on z/OS - a fresh checkout from svn gives us
depends.properties in the default platform encoding (EBCDIC). However, when
we come to load these properties in depends-common.xml, using the
loadproperties Ant task, they are assumed to be in ASCII encoding. The
"encoding" property of the Ant task does not actually work correctly (I
think this is a bug in Ant which I intend to raise) so it is no help. I was
wondering if anybody has any ideas about the best way to tackle this
problem? Really I'd like to tag the file in some way so that it is checked
out of Subversion in the correct encoding immediately, but there does not
seem to be a way to do this. I have come up with a few options:
1) Mark the file binary in svn - not a good solution, means losing revision
history, not getting proper diffs etc.
2) Use the Ant copy task with it's outputencoding property set to ISO-8859-1
to copy the file to another location, and then use that copy to load the
properties from. Delete the file after it has been used (patch would be like
[1]). Unfortunately this means that when we run the fetch-depends target we
see a lot of copy/delete output (setting verbose="false" for these tasks
does not seem to hide the output completely).
3) Same as (2), but don't delete the file afterwards. There would only be
one initial copy, then no further copies unless the file is modified.
However, this does mean that these is an extra file left in the make
directory, which I don't like the idea of.
I'd choose to go with (2), but thought I'd see if anyone has any other ideas
before I commit the change.
Regards,
Oliver
