[Building Sakai] Possible issues with EOL's on some files

[Maurer, Christopher Wayne]

Thanks Steve.  That seemed to do the trick.  Took a bit of effort to get flip running as the version of Xcode I had didn't work under Lion and the process to get the newer version is a bit strange.  So, finally was able to build flip with g++!  Did get it running and fixed various file types until the add worked!  Luckily, I'm closer to the svn repo so things aren't as slow for me!

I get this all the time. We take exports of tools we need to customise and then import them into our msub. We do this so our local commit history is clearer. We then refresh them from time to time from the main Sakai branches.

Anyway, major pain, you stage a commit that takes forever to add and then it fails. Subversion really should handle this more gracefully, but I am pretty sure it is because whoever committed the file didn't have this setup in their subversion config:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/trunk/svn/config

I get around this by running 'flip' on them to convert the line endings. I actually wrote about this:
http://steveswinsburg.wordpress.com/2011/05/13/recursively-adjust-line-endings-for-a-bunch-of-files/

and you can grab flip from there and compile it for yourself.

cheers,
Steve

I was trying to take the 2.7.1 tag and add the code over in contrib, but I get errors on the svn add.  Seems like it's mad about some EOL settings.  I don't know the full extent, but I saw it on a couple *ru.properties files.  Has anyone else had that issue either going from svn to contrib, or perhaps a local repo?
I don't think we had issues when we put it in the IU msub, but that was a straight svn copy and not an export/add.

I was able to get past some of them by commenting out the places in my .subversion/config file to remove the settings for svn:eol-style=native for some file types, but that seems extreme.  Any other suggestions?
