[jira] Created: (GERONIMO-1286) Have CRLF line endings for zip distribution and LF line endings for tar.gz distribution

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
 Assigned to: 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 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.

----------------------------------------

third time I've seen this in the last couple of days... weird.

notepad seems to be about the only editor I've seen that isn't smart enough to figure this out, so I generally stick with the line endings on the release system, but making sure any batch files and shell files have the correct line endings regardless (as its possible the zip is used on unix, or the tar.gz on windows via cygwin).

[jira] Updated: (GERONIMO-1286) Have CRLF line endings for zip distribution and LF line endings for tar.gz distribution

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.

John Sisson commented on GERONIMO-1286:
---------------------------------------

We need to discuss this further, as I felt we had a majority that wanted the zip to be CRLF.  Windows users may also use DOS commands to view files, so if the files just had LFs I am guessing it wouldn't be usable.  Also it bugs me when on windows and being asked by editors whether I want to convert the file to DOS format.  Surely there are enough windows users in the world to consider a distribution format that is suited to them.  *NIX users should use the tar.gz distribution.

I don't like the idea of relying upon the line endings of the release system.  Builds should be consistent, no matter what system they are built on.  I am going to check in my changes so far to modules/assembly.  What ever is decided needs to be integrated into the new build.
