[pacman-dev] [Fwd: [arch-general] PKGBUILD and DOS line endings]

Should we be handling this issue? Allan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [arch-general] PKGBUILD and DOS line endings Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2008 15:32:26 +0100 From: Alessandro Doro <ordo.ad@gmail.com> Reply-To: General Discusson about Arch Linux <arch-general@archlinux.org> To: arch-general@archlinux.org I found in AUR a PKGBUILD with DOS line endings. See what happens: $ makepkg : command not found ==> ERROR: An unknown error has occured. Exiting... makepkg simply sources "$BUILDSCRIPT" and bash treats '\r' literally. The PKGBUILD maintainer is surely to be blamed and I don't think that `makepkg' should try to catch this error (sorry for some innocent user). Just wanted to expose this "feature". bye
