Hi.

In guidelines in common errors section
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Rpmlint_Errors
there is the following phrase:
---
This error occurs because of DOS line breaks in a file. Fix it with sed
in the %prep section: %{__sed} -i 's/\r//' src/somefile -- DONT use
dos2unix, that can cause build fail on FC3.
---

Because FC3 is not supported for long time, I'm proposing to change it
to:
---
This error occurs because of DOS line breaks in a file. Fix it with in
the %prep section with sed: <code>%{__sed} -i 's/\r//'
src/somefile</code> or dos2unix.
---

Packaging draft is created at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Dos2unix
and added to DraftsTodo page.

Waiting for comments.

Alexey
