Description

The download page TracDownload should warn about platform specific line endings in different archives. I had some trouble (see #3727) after installing from zip archive on linux box.

For example: 

'''Note''': files contain Windows line endings, see #3727. Please download tar.gz file if you want to install on *nix system.

I have no privileges for editing that wiki page.

Type: defect → task

In response to #3727 I explicitly labeled the Zip files as "Windows Zip package". Do you think that's insufficient to discourage *nix users from downloading the files?

Replying to mgood:

Yes, that's explicit enough.
