Could you list off the top of your head some of the tools that have
given you trouble? I have never run into the line ending issues yet
but I may in the future. I would be good to have an idea what tools
will NOT handle unix line endings.
Thanks

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.
