[MariaDB developers] Re: Windows line endings in MariaDB test result files?

Thus asking are Windows CRLF necessary in the new mysql-test/main/mysql-interactive.result test?

The .result files are compared verbatim against the test output to check for test passing or failing. So you can easily check this by removing the CR bytes and run the main.mysql-interactive to see if it still pases.

While importing 11.4.6 into Debian I ran into issues with git and quilt failing to convert text files properly between Unix and Windows line endings.

What issues? Why do you need to convert text files, why not simply keep the files as they are, regardless of CRLF or any other special byte sequences? - Kristian.
