Re: [Ltib] Re: DTC - Fatal Error: Couldn't read input tree

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Mark,

If anyone knows of any patches in LTIB we've uploaded to
http://www.bitshrine.org/gpp/ that include '\r' characters at the end of
lines, let me know the names and I'll try to get them replaced with
fixed version (the old ones will always be there, I'll just add a new
one with a different version and change the spec file reference). 

We try to catch this kind of thing, but sometimes things slip through.

Regards, Stuart
