This is a simple script that will apply patches in the proper order

Comment 5 LDB 2005-03-27 03:00:34 UTC
There is an issue that needs to be fixed as well .. 

when using dos2unix as an privileged user on a file owned by root
dos2unix overwrites the file anyway without printing, 

   dos2unix: problems converting file filetoconvert.txt
 

Comment 6 LDB 2005-03-27 03:21:54 UTC
This is my fault .. it corrects the dos2unix inconversion issue but introduces
unprivileged user conversion of privileged files.

Completely confused by this.  Is this patch still needed?
