398690 - Add graphic formats to cvswrappers

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org :: CVS: Administration, task)

Description

[Peter Weilbacher]

There are currently quite a few graphics files checked into the Mozilla CVS repository without the binary option (see a list of those in browser/ and toolkit/ in bug 398597). This causes these graphics to be crippled for at least OS/2 if they were checked in from a Unix system.

On other CVS servers that I am working with, lines like the following are added to CVSROOT/cvswrappers to automatically define files with certain extensions as binaries:
   *.png -k 'b'
   *.gif -k 'b'
   *.jpg -k 'b'
   *.jpeg -k 'b'
(This is possibly case sensitive.) I think if this is not yet present on the Mozilla CVS server, this should be added.

You can assign back to me for implementation if you want it or wontfix if you don't.

While this is initially reported on OS/2, this would impact other o.s. as well. Yes, Dave, please do fix.
