Please add svn property 'svn:eol-style native' to _all_ text files

[Dietmar Winkler]

It would be nice if all text files would get the svn property svn:eol-style native set.

Currently I'm checking file out with a linux machine and when I check in changes the CRLF will be transformed to LF unnecessarily. Setting svn:eol-style native will adjust the line endings natively to your OS with which you checkout.
You can do this globally quite easy by editing $HOME/.subversion/config and then run this python script:
​http://subversion.tigris.org/tools_contrib.html#svn_apply_autoprops_py

This should also be done for all the other repos.

Hi,

We cannot do that for Compiler/*.mo files as the debugger expects them with
LF style endings. Otherwise the execution pointer is way off.

For all other files is fine.

Well in that case simply add in .subversion/config

*.h = svn:eol-style=native
*.c = svn:eol-style=native
*.whathaveyou = svn:eol-style=native
compiler/*.mo = svn:eol-style=LF

and use the python script to apply the changes and check before the commit.

[Adrian Pop]

OK. I'll see if I can I do this with TortoiseSVN
and if not I'll boot my Ubuntu virtual machine
and give it a try from there.

This was resolved in r3732

Commit message:

Formal clean up of all code files:

• applied svn:eol-style native to all files except Compiler/*.mo --> LF
• unified the eol-style of ALL files (this was necessary in order to set the svn properties
• unification was done by a script which also removed all trailing whitespaces (except for all files in testsuite as white spaces are necessary to successful compare the results, could be improved maybe)
• make clean all test --> sucess on Ubuntu Linux 8.10, proably a good idea to run it for the other platforms as well.
• FYI: script to remove trailing white spaces: ​http://is.gd/5A6B

Closing this as it was previously resolved (we now have a make target that sets the svn properties as we can't force all our users to use a customized subversion config-file). The eol-style used is LF instead of native though. The important thing is that the svn server normalizes all line endings on commit.

[Dietmar Winkler]

I wasn't aware that you can force a certain line-ending on the server side. Is that done by post-commit hooks?
