I'm using TkCvs in linux and windows and found out, that projects checked out in windows don't work in linux, because of the cr/lf stuff in files in CVS directory..
Can I setup TkCvs so it uses only LF as the end-of-line in windows also?

The short answer is no, but if you go to Google Advanced Newsgroups Search and search the "comp.software.config-mgmt" group for "line end", you'll see some discussion on the matter. About the only thing I know of is to use cvs admin to set the -kb flag on all the files, but then if you're using keyword substitution in the headers (you know, like "$Id: help.tcl,v 1.44 2002/11/13 07:24:56 dorothyr Exp $") the substitution won't happen. And if you're using Samba, it might put in DOS lineends for you anyway.

Tkcvs is an open source project. If there's a feature you'd like to see, please feel free to implement it and submit a patch :-)
I'm a Unix developer, and so is Del, the author of tkcvs. (Get _his_ opinion of Windows some day!) Other than making sure the tcl code is as portable as possible, and addressing the occasional bug report, I don't do any work on Windows. Most of the PC-usability stuff that's in tkcvs has been contributed by users, and it's very likely to remain that way.

hmm.. I know it's possible to setup in other CVS clients (wincvs).. can't you implement something like that in your client?
