Re: [Axiom-developer] SVN on sourceforge

[Ralf Hemmecke]

Hello,

as you know, I have freshly checked out Gold (--patch-50) and Silver 
(trunk r133).

You know Silver is a mess with respect to the properties. I've just run

cd Axiom/Gold/axiom--main--1
find . -type f ! -regex '.*\.arch-ids.*' ! -regex '.*{arch}.*' -exec cmp 
{} ../../Silver/trunk/axiom/{} ';'

Of course, many of the .Z files differ.

But if you shorten the output a bit via

find . -type f ! -regex '.*\.arch-ids.*' ! -regex '.*{arch}.*' -exec cmp 
{} ../../Silver/trunk/axiom/{} ';'| perl -ne 'if (/.*\/(.*) differ:/) 
{print "$1\n"}' |sort|uniq

you'll find

tla-1.1.tar.gz

In particular the .patch files are interesting. In Gold they appear with 
a line ending of CR LF, in Silver it's just LF. I have the suspicion 
that tla does not take care of different system. SVN stores always the 
UNIX line endings inside the repository.

Maybe the 2.6.6 and below patches are not so important, because we are 
removing them anyway soon, but we should somehow agree on storing Unix 
line endings for source files inside the tla and svn repositories. 
Otherwise it is more difficult than just running cmp to check whether 
Gold and Silver trunk are in sync.

I'll try to get the binaries correct and leave the .patch files as they are.

BTW, Tim, why is there now also "tla-1.1.tar.gz" inside the axiom archive?

And libaxiom.al is there to avoid running the scripts from Peter 
Broadbery? But note that this thing gets out of date if ever somebody 
modifies some algebra files.
