In short, what you're seeing is caused by a "feature" of CVS. It needs to be told to handle binary files specially, to preserve the binary content so they don't become corrupt. From what I understand, this is not currently happening with the standard check-in/check-out commands. In your particular case, the library files are altered either when they are checked into CVS, or when they are checked out of CVS. I'm not sure which it is, and unfortunately I haven't had time to investigate this problem any further yet.
Anyone who wants to checkin binary files into CVS should use the -kb flag. This tells CVS to take the file as-is, without any keyword substitutions or NL->CR conversion. If -kb is used on checkin, it becomes a "sticky tag", so anyone doing a checkout gets served with -kb enabled implicitly. ciao, chakl _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
