I'd agree to these changes if the svn eol property were checked in at
the same time. That solves the long term problem. See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s02.html
for details on svn:eol-style.
For the project, we need to decide which eol style to use. Both/either
LF and native work fine for most people.

Mike,
I remember those conversations... :-) What's the advantage of
making or
not making these changes? This is a huge change. And, other than
totally
tilting our doc change history, does it really buy us anything? I
thought
that as the document gets updated, then the sections would be
converted
appropriately. And, even if we do this change, what prevents us from
corrupting it again? It seems that this is just an on-going
situation. Or,
are there some controls that can be put in place to ensure that these
incorrect EOL characters stay out once they are removed?

This issue came up a few years ago while we were in the incubator.
At the
time (if memory serves) we decided not to fix existing code due to
the
noise
on SVN.
I'm happy to commit the changes Donald has graciously provided if
folks
agree the noise is acceptable, but I'd prefer to make sure since
there's
precedent against cleaning up eol chars.
Any agreement / dissent to committing the patch?

Donald Woods updated OPENJPA-896:
---------------------------------
Attachment: OPENJPA-896-trunk.patch
Patch file which removes the Windows Ctrl+M EOL chars.
For Windows users, you can use a program like SlickEdit to resave
the
files
in Unix format (and fix your svn config.)
For Unix/Linux users, use the "dos2unix *.xml" command.
For Mac users, you need to provide a dos2unix script that uses the
tr
command -
{noformat}
#! /bin/sh
for x
do
echo "Converting $x"
tr -d '\015' < "$x" > "$x.tmp"
mv "$x.tmp" "$x"
done
{noformat}
Several doc files include Windows EoL chars
-------------------------------------------
Key: OPENJPA-896
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-896
Project: OpenJPA
Issue Type: Bug
Components: docs
Reporter: Donald Woods
Priority: Trivial
Fix For: 2.0.0
Attachments: OPENJPA-896-trunk.patch
Several of the doc files include the Windows Ctrl+M chars at the
end of
lines when checked out to non-Windows platforms (like MacOSX and
Linux),
due
to the committer not using the ASF suggested svn config values -
http://www.apache.org/dev/svn-eol-style.txt
From http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html -
Configuring the Subversion client
Committers will need to properly configure their svn client. One
particular issue is OS-specific line-endings for text files. When
you add
a
new text file, especially when applying patches from Bugzilla, first
ensure
that the line-endings are appropriate for your system, then do ...
svn add test.txt
svn propset svn:eol-style native test.txt
Your svn client can be configured to do that automatically for some
common file types. Add the contents of the file
http://www.apache.org/dev/svn-eol-style.txt to your ~/.subversion/
config
file. [Note: for Windows this is normally found at C:\Documents and
Settings\{username}\Application Data\Subversion\config]
Some files may need additional properties to be set, for example
svn:executable=* should be applied to those script files (e.g. .bat,
.cgi,
.cmd, .sh) that are intended to be executed. Since not all such
files are
necessarily intended to be executed, the executable property
should not
be
made an automatic default.
However, you should still pay attention to the messages from your
svn
client when you do 'svn commit'.
