the main effect for me is this here, when I try to bootstrap Ant: Failed to transform /home/bodewig/ASF/jakarta/jakarta-ant/bootstrap/bin/lcp.bat to /home/bodewig/ASF/jakarta/jakarta-ant/bootstrap/bin/lcp.bat. Couldn't rename temporary file: /tmp/fixcrlf468853916
The reason is that /tmp and /home are on different file systems and File#renameTo won't work accross file system boundaries. The easy solution would be to revert Antoine's patch, but I think it shows a deeper problem. There are several tasks that assume failure of File#renameTo was a fatal problem, where it would be correct to fall back to copy then remove old file instead. I propose to create a new renameTo method in FileUtils that tries File#renameTo and falls back to copy+delete if that fails and throws an exception if the later fails as well - after that grep for all occurances of renameTo in Ant and replace them. I volunteer to do the work but can't promise I'll complete it this week (depends on the amount of grep-find hits and the work-load I'll face in my day job). If Sam's machine has /tmp on a filesystem different than his Gump installation we are going to receive a couple of nag mails and cause nag-mails for quite a few other projects as well (any project that uses <fixcrlf>). For dist-ant and the other projects doing nightly builds with Gump these failures are fatal.
