Description kitfox 2005-11-07 02:01:42 UTC

I'm working on a CVS tree off of sourceforge and have recently upgraded from NB
4.1 to NB 5.0.  I've noticed thta CVS no longer downloads finary files, such as
JAR files correctly.  When I clean my repository and use Cygwin to checkout a
source tree, the compiled jar files in the tree download correctly.  When I
clean again and attempt to do the same thing with NB 5.0, the jar files are
several bytes longer and are corrupt.

Is CVS somehow interpreting these files as text?

I assume the project is freely accessible so can you give us cvsroot and paths
of files that get corrupted so we can reproduce it?

Comment 2 kitfox 2005-11-07 14:00:15 UTC

The project is at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/joode

To get it:

cvs -d :ext:<yourSourceForgeLogin>@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/joode checkout

(you can also login anonymously over pserver, but I'm not sure if the bug can be
duplicated that way).

All *.jar files in the /lib directory will download corrupted.

Comment 3 Maros Sandor 2005-11-07 15:00:58 UTC

I checked it and found that almost all .jar files are stored in CVS as text
files. You can see in CVS/Entries file that only junit.jar was added correctly
with -kb option. All other libraries were added as text files and you should
contact the person who maintains the project to correct that.
