[Slackbuilds-users] Dos line endings in patch file

[Daniel Prosser]

Hi,

I recently updated xflr5 to the latest version. The SlackBuild includes 
a patch which is supposed to have dos line endings, since the source 
file also has dos line endings. The patch file I uploaded had dos line 
endings (and I tested before uploading), but now in the repo, it has 
unix line endings, which causes the SlackBuild to fail. I'm wondering if 
the line endings got changed in the upload process somehow and what the 
preferred way to deal with this situation is. Should I convert the 
source file to unix line endings in the SlackBuild prior to applying the 
patch? If so, what's the best way to do that? I could make dos2unix a 
required dependency and use that, but I'd prefer not to add a dependency 
if there's a better approach.

Regards,
Dan
