[chirp_devel] TOX setup issue?

[Jim Unroe]

I've been rebuilding my CHIRP Developers Environment PC. While I've
been doing it, I've been taking the time to document the steps that
are needed to fully setup the environment in both Windows and Linux
(distros based on Ubuntu).

I've run into an issue in my Linux environment while setting up tox.
Here is my issue...

So I am starting out on an SSD with a fresh installation of the OS.
The first thing I do is install all or the required packages that will
need. With that out of the way, from my home folder I clone the CHIRP
repository to my local machine...

hg clone http://d-rats.com/hg/chirp.hg

and CD into that folder...

cd chirp.hg

At this point I perform a "diff" command...

~/chirp.hg$ hg diff
~/chirp.hg$

and nothing is returned (which is good).

So now I give tox a go...

~/chirp.hg$ tox

I get the prompt back after a successful run and then perform another "diff".

~/chirp.hg$ hg diff

This is where the problem arises. Every *.po file in the
~/chirp.hg/locale folder has been changed

If I save a copy of the *.po files prior to running tox and copy them
back in the locale folder (or download them from the repository) and
run the "diff" command again, all is good.

What would be causing this? Am I doing something wrong?
