I agree. It’s happened to many bugs I raised over the years even when they are provably still valid, and it gives a really bad impression to end users for limited gain. Alex Sent from my iPhone 📱 > On 10 Feb 2022, at 06:49, Christoph Läubrich wrote: > > +1 for disabling this. > >> Am 10.02

Not that it answers your question directly, but you can use “git update-index —assume-unchanged” to make it appear that you haven’t changed the file and so not to be considered as a diff when pulling. I have a wrapper script called “git forget” because it’s easier to type. https://github.com/al

I think the move to GitHub would be a way of getting more users interested in contributing; however, I think for that to work we need to be able to do builds on GitHub as well (or report test failures there). I’m not sure how or whether GitHub actions could be used for the builds, but the open

It looks like the version of your SWT and the version of the Eclipse SDK you’re using don’t match. SWT loads the native library based on an explicit version number, so that it can be clear that it matches up the two. If you use the version of the Eclipse SDK and SWT from the same release, you

I think if we have a default of ‘max parallel builds: 1’ (or alternatively, ‘parallel builds: false’ and no-one knows about the feature, it’s as good as non existent to those who use Eclipse. Can we update the default to ‘true’ or ‘max processors’ or ‘half processors’ or similar, so we can enab

Re: [platform-dev] Running multiple instances of eclipse in MacOS

It’s implemented by using “open -n” on macOS and so probably isn’t valid for other apps using that mechanism. That said, other platforms can just launch another executable using the original command. It would seem a compatible implementation could exist for other environments. Fancy opening a b

Re: [platform-dev] Running multiple instances of eclipse in MacOS

If you run the app from the command line you can launch a second instance. You have to use the name of the executable and the -data argument to launch it. /path/to/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse -data /path/to/workspace You can also use open -n for an app: open -n /path/to/Eclipse.app If y

In that case, can we get the Oomph installer to publish the .tar.gz as .tgz instead? For the case where it's hosted on an external download server, it gives a better experience. Perhaps bug 568788 should be moved to the Oomph queue instead? On Tue, Oct 13, 2020 at 6:11 PM Jonah Graham wrote: > H

How was the dmg created? Can you mount it and see if the quarantine bits are in the dmg itself? If you downloaded it from a tgz, then created a dmg from that, you’d bake in the quarantine flags into the dmg itself. If you can give me the exact url you downloaded I can verify it for you. But I
