Hi, sorry for the delay. I have carried out a few more experiments (see below). Sébastien

As I'm in Europe, I suppose the EU mirror was used (is there a way to check?). I've tried to commit the same patch to svn-master. For some reasons, I get many error messages with subclipse. For lack of time, I therefore only tested the command-line client. It WORKED!!! See rev 1225839, and 1225841. As previously mentioned, Gilles already encountered the same difficulty, and the problem was only solved when Phil managed to successfully commit a dummy patch to the incriminated file. So now that the patch was accepted, I tried to commit to https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/trunk the following patch *****BEGIN PATCH***** ### Eclipse Workspace Patch 1.0 #P Apache Commons Math Index: src/main/java/org/apache/commons/math/distribution/BinomialDistribution.java =================================================================== --- src/main/java/org/apache/commons/math/distribution/BinomialDistribution.java (revision 1225842) +++ src/main/java/org/apache/commons/math/distribution/BinomialDistribution.java (working copy) @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ import org.apache.commons.math.util.FastMath; /** - * Implementation of the binomial distribution. + * Implementation of the binomial distribution.

Does all that help? Can I try and commit the longer patch that initially was the cause of this thread, or should I wait for you to explore in more detail this issue? Best regards, thanks again for your help! Sébastien
