Re: DOS line endings in tarball



Hi

What's about converting diffs to use dos line endings ?

Hi,

   I am trying to upgrade a package but I have the problem that the line
endings in the original tarball are in DOS mode and this makes boring
problems with dpatch.
   How can I fix that without changing the original tarball? I don't want
to run dos2unix on all files :)

Well, you should either talk to upstream to consider fixing that up or write a small script to call dos2unix on all files for you and then repack the tarball back as well. I can't think of any other decent option ;-)

I want to upload the new package along with libqt4 4.3 into experimental. I
cannot make my pbuilder download from experimental although I make a hook
to add experimental into sources.list. Can anyone help me?

experimental is a non-automatic repository ( i.e. if you want to pull packages from there you should call apt-get install with -t experimental. In the case of pbuilder you can use:

PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD="/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-experimental"

instead of:
PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD="/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends"

in your /etc/pbuilderrc.
