Greetings, I have been following along with the thread and would just like to say a few paragraphs. Can't the contributors themselves run pgindent on the files which they have changed _just_ before creating the patch which is to be contributed? Thus, patching a "pure" pgindented file from cvs with another "pure" file created loacally will allow for the contributor to work with their own ideosyncratic indentation style, yet at the same time keep the pgindentification of the cvs tree "pure". Otherwise the alternative is to insist that people code according to the project's standards, which is really just another application of the slogans; "When in Rome do as Rome does." and "There is no "I" in "TEAM." If there is one thing the Mozilla project has done well, it is the creation of all the tools to make cooperative coding simpler. As the PostgreSQL grows in complexity and following you might find that these tools are helpful. -- Sincerely etc., NAME Christopher Sawtell CELL PHONE 021 257 4451 ICQ UIN 45863470 EMAIL csawtell @ xtra . co . nz CNOTES ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/C/tutorials/sawtell_C.tar.gz -->> Please refrain from using HTML or WORD attachments in e-mails to me <<--
