In the past there's been confusion as to what the release packages contain with regards to EOLs <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2641>. My idea for dealing with the confusion is to tag the packages with an EOL indicator (as explained in the bug). Any other ideas?
Couldn't you just let svn use the svn:eol-style to get the end-of-line characters right on files that are specifically for unix (for example the configure script mentioned in the bug report) in all packages? I checked in svn, and the configure script does have its svn:eol-style set properly to LF.
That wouldn't solve the problem for environments/toolsets that can use the configure, Makefiles, etc. in CRLF form. In particular it would cause grief for MinGW and Cygwin/CRLF users (I'm one of those). -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
