[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (DROOLS-146) Use .gitattributes to force linux line endings for all text files

Use .gitattributes to force linux line endings for all text files ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DROOLS-146 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-146 Project: Drools Issue Type: Task Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet Assignee: Michael Biarnes Kiefer With .gitattributes we can force all java files etc to have linux file endings. I am experimenting with this in the optaplanner repository: https://github.com/droolsjbpm/optaplanner/commit/40dca629262568d5e5abb379... If it works well, we'll want to compile a good overall .gitattributes file and commit it to all droolsjbpm repositories. During the refactor to .gitattributes, execute this script to detect and fix all previous errors: https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings#re-normalizing... *Important:* In OptaPlanner we just committed the file without "fixing all previous errors". It turned out we had 2. The person who adds the .gitattributes file doesn't get a problem, but other people who clone a new repository get immediate modifications to incorrect files. This is a PITA. So *after the commit .gitattributes files, all previous errors need to be fixed for and verified by doing a new clone and a git status on that new clone.*
