RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Can Someone please update the dos2unix package to something that's at least from the last 4 years?

The current version which you ship, v6.0.3, was released 2013-01-25, and does not even support the --info option. Support for this in dos2unix was added in version 7.1 back in October of 2014.

Their Changelog:

2014-10-06: Version 7.1

  * New: Option -i, --info to print file information.
    This new option prints number of DOS, Unix, and Mac line breaks, the byte
    order mark, and if the file is text or binary. And it can print the names
    of files that would be converted.

As a sysadmin who often has to write scripts, I was very disappointed to find such an old version is still shipped.

The version you are shipping is so old, I cant even use the --info command line parameter, ridiculous.

Please update this package.
