Submit Part is creating a problem | |
Please see (missing or broken file). I am getting lots of errors from this submission. I am using FOM 2.711 and CGI 2.77. Also can you suggest how to remove the answer from the trash? Does it happen automatically via cron job? Thanks. | |
If you look inside the file, you'll see that the "Lines:" field shows a number slightly less than the actual number. Unfortunately, the number has to be exact or else all hell breaks loose. This means that something went wrong somewhere during "Lines:" computation during part submission.

The problem is caused by RCS keyword expansion during checkout. The keyword $LOG$ (actually LOG spelt as Log) can be expanded to multiple lines. That causes the problem. A fix? That's rather simple. 1. Do not use "ci -l ...". Use "ci". 2. Since checkout is not automatic, figure out "co" path from "ci" path. 3. Use "co -l -ko". The patch shall be posted next. | |
