[Python-Dev] you may have some PCbuild hiccups (original) (raw)

Hello all,

Recently I spearheaded a number of screw ups in the PCbuild/ directory. PCbuild/*.dsp and *.dsw went from binary to text to binary again. These are sticky CVS attributes on files in your checked out Python tree.

If you care about the PCbuild/ content (i.e. you build Python on Windows) then you may need to completely delete the PCbuild directory and re-get it from CVS. You can tell if you need to by doing a 'cvs status *.dsw *.dsp'. If any of those files don't have the "Sticky Option: -kb", they should. If they all do and MSDEV loads the project files okay, then you are fine.

NOTE: You have to delete the whole PCbuild\ directory, not just its contents. The PCbuild\CVS control directory is part of what you have to re-get.

Sorry, Trent
