Not really. Look at both packages in eix, they have vastly different |
| 68 |
version numbers but they both have the same homepage: |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
"In 2010 the two separate dos2unix and unix2dos packages have been |
| 71 |
bundled into a single dos2unix package (version 5.0). Support for |
| 72 |
Unicode UTF-16 was added in 2012 (version 6.0)." |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
Visualize the name as having "<->" instead of "2" :-) |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
From a first glance, I'd guess that unix2dos has been obsolete |
| 77 |
(superceded?) for 4 years and should be removed from the tree |
