Maybe this isn't a NetBSD thing....
I've got a gzipped tarball of files, all ascii stuff - *.php
and *.html.
When I 'tar xvfz' the files onto my linux box I have no problems.
However, when I 'tar xvfz' them onto my NetBSD box, many of the
files have '^M' appended to the end of each line. The PHP engine
doesn't seem to like this.
I thought it was a problem with the tarfile, but apparently it
isn't, since the carriage returns are not present in the files
on my linux box.
Is there some flag I need to pass tar to prevent this?
I know I can use strings, or some perl commands to clean these
files up, but it would be nicer to prevent it outright.
TIA.
