Inconsistent line endings in 911 files in Boost 1.65.1 tar package
| Reported by: | Owned by: | ||

Description
Try this:
- Download boost_1_65_1.tar.bz2.
 - Extract it on a Linux system.
 - Find files that have CRLF line endings:
 
find -type f | xargs file | grep CRLF > ../boost_1_65_1_tar_CRLF.txt
There are 911 such files (list attached), with some files having a mixture of CRLF and LF line endings. This probably isn't a big problem in most cases, but it does create difficulties when you do a CVS import of Boost into a vendor branch.

I think best way to report such general issues is to post to Boost development list https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
Can we close this?
