BerliOS, patches and binary files
« on: April 24, 2006, 07:26:04 pm »
Dear all,
I've got a question: The BerliOS patch submission does not work if I want to provide images (binary files), too. This is the case for e.g. new project wizards (I've got quite some in the pipeline) which include at least two images. Unfortunately ZIP files aren't supported as well. How am I supposed to provide a patch with binaries included? Any ideas?
With regards, Morten.

Well, that's the "hardcode trial-and-error method". :lol: I guess some of the admin knows so I'd prefer to know the solution...?!

I just tried for your convenience :)

.tar.gz works nicely.

.tar.bz2 works nicely, too.

I've chosen this after my try with a ZIP archive failed. This caused me to install a TAR and a GZIP under Windows. I've never really used these tools, so hopefully the archives are not broken. I would suggest to add support for at least ZIP for such cases (dumb mainly Windows users as I am ;-)).

Ps.: By mistake I've added an empty patch (#1009). Unfortunately allthough I've commited it I'm not allowed to remove it. So I have to ask the admins thereby to help me. It was really a mistake - the return key was nearby delete which I "tried" to press... I'm sorry for that.

With regards, Morten.

Sure, tell me how, and I will do it immediately... :)

I've been looking for ages, there seems to be no way to configure file types.

I should have guessed that...
I've filed a request at BerliOS accordingly. I'll tell you if I got any news.
With regards (and good night ;-)) Morten.
