Developers of Sympa

[IKEDA Soji <address@concealed>]

Hi all,

Guillaume developped modeline for vi (vim) and emacs.
It may be revised according to currently suggested ~/.perltidyrc.
As a result, beginning of each file will be composed as below:

-------------------- >8 -------------------- >8 --------------------
#!--PERL--
# -*- indent-tabs-mode: nil; -*-
# vim:ft=perl:et:sw=4:textwidth=78:ts=8
# $Id$

# Sympa - SYsteme de Multi-Postage Automatique
<<Omitted below>>
-------------------- 8< -------------------- 8< --------------------
(Note: #! line will be omitted in module (*.pm) files.)

I'll make two proposal.

1. Modelines would be removed.

- It can support limited number of editors.
  E.g.: Someone can wish the line for jEdit to be added.

- Programmers can "revise" them.
  E.g.: I hesitated to or not to add "fenc=utf-8" into vim
  line for a short time; someone can try to add complete settings
  for cperl-mode (and perl-mode) on emacs.

We might rather present recommended configurations of editors
(Appendix C of PBP shows some examples) on developer page and remove
this line.

2. $Id$ line would be removed or replaced with the equivalents on git.

On git, "$Id$" will be replaced by hash of each file.  Approximately
equivalent one to Subversion/CVS will be "$Format: %f %h %ci %cn$"
(export-subst have to be enabled: See section 7.2 in 
<http://git-scm.com/book/>).

Or, this line would be simply removed.


Comments?
