We have a new problem using forrestbot. Part of this could be my own settings, but I am assured by Jeremias that this isn't completely the case. Please see below.

Wonderful. Just what I need. Different platforms, different line

asking the Forrest people how they deal with that or how we're supposed to deal
with this? I'm not very amused to process each file separately
until I have consistent line-endings and the right SVN properties and the next Forrest run might even take everything apart again. I liked the scp
approach better. Sigh.


My bad... I don't have my SVN settings correct. I need to set my
svn:eol-style property to 'native' & then this shouldn't be a
problem. Sorry for the grief!

I've made the change locally. I need to also do the same for my other
projects.


Part of that may be due to your SVN settings, but I got mixed line
endings in HTML files generated by Forrest. I haven't checked, yet,  why
this happens but that probably doesn't happen because of your SVN
settings.

Please advise.


Can't be certain without more info about the specific problem. However, I strongly suspect this is a symptom of http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-492

This, in turn, is caused by http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-656

I'd like to say "its not our fault", but this Xalan is open source, just like Forrest, any one of us could fix the problem. Who will get the itch first?
