Similarly for the Unix source package.
That procedure obviously works for the CMake release manager, but in my
case
it won't work since I don't have access to Windows. From your response it
also sounds like line endings are not something CPack handles at the moment
so if I decide to make a Windows line-ending source release I will do it
with the available Unix tools.
The remaining questions concern whether it is the usual thing for Windows
users to be able to figure out line endings on their own? Do the CMake
developers consider their separate source release with Windows line-endings
a minor courtesy, major courtesy, or a necessity for their Windows
users? Or
in retrospect is it just confusing to users to have source package versions
with different line endings?
There are some windows tools that do not like Windows line-endings. It
is better these days, but you still run into them (as you just found
out). I don't think this is something that cpack will ever do by itself.
