Non-Windows line endings for Windows builds?
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2016 14:58
Hi!
I have heard from an user (see here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15694#p236652) who was confused by opening a text file from one of the Windows builds. Apparently all text files were in “UNIX line ending mode” instead of “Windows line ending mode” which is probably by mistake.
Packagers, can you please check this and fix this by transforming the text files in the release packages (!) to “Windows line ending mode”?
As far I know, Git itself has simple tools to achieve this job, so I hope it shouldn't be too hard.
Note: I am only asking you to change the line endings in the release packages, not in the Minetest repository itself!
Or does Minetest rely on “UNIX line endings” for its config files? That would be bad.
I am not a Windows user myself, so I can't test.
