[eclipselink-dev] Unification of line endings in the codebase
|
Hi all,
currently eclipselink sources contains mix of line endings - some
files are using *nix style (LF), some win style (CRLF) and the rest is a
mix of *nix and win style (some lines end with LF while others with
CRLF). Since we are at the beginning of 2.7 development it looks like a
good time to me to unify line endings in our codebase to avoid complete
rewrites of files in the future.
Why we should do that?
-make it easier to review incoming as well as own (outgoing) changes
-avoid noise in git log
-use https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings as a
guide to properly set up local development environment
Drawbacks:
-one-time full rewrite of some files in the repository
-some backports to previous streams will require manual changes/merges
When?
if there will be an agreement, I'd like to perform the change next
week, on Friday March 27, 2015
Which line endings should be used?
either *nix or win but definitely not a mix of them in one file
How to cast your vote?
simply reply to this email with either '+LF', '+CRLF' or 'Leave it as
it is' by Thursday March 28, 23:59.
Thanks and happy voting,
