[XBoard-devel] CVS Questions

[Mark Ioli]

Ok, questions about our CVS repository...

Are the files currently tagged with any particular keyword substitution? 
I thought I checked correctly and they all seemed to be tagged as binary 
(-kb). But when I check anything out it all comes across as ascii. This 
has been corrupting the binaries (like the bitmaps for winboard), 
causing the resource compiler to fail. Now experimenting with Eclipse, 
which has nice CVS integration, I hadn't been able to figure out why 
everything was seen as ascii. In the process I somewhat unintentially 
changed the substitution mode for one bitmap in the winboard directory. 
How do you or how should we be checking things out, forcing binary mode? 
If nothing is currently tagged for any particular mode, should we? Or 
should it all be controlled at the client end, using a cvswrappers file?

Sorry for my confusion, if I'm just missing something very fundamental 
about CVS I apologize.
