Look at both packages in eix, they have vastly different version numbers but they both have the same homepage: "In 2010 the two separate dos2unix and unix2dos packages have been bundled into a single dos2unix package (version 5.0). Support for Unicode UTF-16 was added in 2012 (version 6.0)." Visualize the name as having "<->" instead of "2" :-) >From a first glance, I'd guess that unix2dos has been obsolete (superceded?) for 4 years and should be removed from the tree -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
