Bug 67544 – emacs: revert-buffer doesn't retest used line endings and simply keeps using the originally loaded one

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dirk Dierckx 2004-10-14 06:49:40 UTC]

i have a text file with DOS (CR/LF) line endings, when opening it in emacs, emacs correctly detects the DOS line endings and saves of that buffer will contain DOS line endings, but ...
if i convert the file (using dos2unix for example) to unix line endings and afterwards do a revert-buffer in emacs it still assumes the file uses DOS line endings, if i save this buffer, it will be saved use DOS line endings (effectively undoing my dos2unix conversion)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
see details

Expected Results:  
revert-buffer should recheck the used line endings and don't assume the line
ending style didn't change

Have you sent it to upstream? I don't think
this is Gentoo specific thing, and needs to be
sent to upstream.

I didn't send it upstream (or was the question addressed to somebody else?)

[Comment 3 Dirk Dierckx 2004-11-18 11:21:39 UTC]

Shall i send it upstream, or has somebody already taken care of it?

(Sorry for not responding immediately)
Dirk: No, we haven't taken it to upstream.
Could you send it to emacs upstream?

I send the contents of this bugzilla to [e-mail]

Dirk can you still reproduce this error?

[Comment 7 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2006-11-04 16:42:23 UTC]

I think this has been fixed long ago.
