[Python-Dev] you may have some PCbuild hiccups

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
