I'm tired of seeing patches failing to apply on a stable system because of dos line endings. Please cc arches if ok, thanks.
fix your patches
(In reply to comment #1) > fix your patches Yes; I cannot agree more, but then if I run ~arch I wont see any problem with so-called broken patches but will get hard to understand bug reports about failing patches. Even worse, if some arch dev happens to have ~arch patch and marks something stable, it'll break. And yes, I know, it has nothing to do with 'patch' and is people's fault, but keeping things as they are make it very prone to such errors. Imho the current situation is annoying and confusing; if -r1 is a no go for stable, then please remove it.
each patch is dysfunctional in its own way. only using the -r0 would allow a different class of broken patches to proliferate. only by having both -r0 and -r1 available are we able to catch both classes of broken patches. if you feel like fixing patch itself, g'luck ... i tried digging into the source a while ago and it's a nightmare.
