Description swagfortress 2021-09-11 16:54:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
Plymouth automatically records the normal boot messages in /var/log/boot.log. Once booting finishes, that file will contain both CRLF and LF line endings.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
plymouth-0.9.5-3.20210331git1ea1020.fc35.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure plymouth is installed.
2. Reboot.
3. Run "file /var/log/boot.log" as root.

Actual results:
"/var/log/boot.log: Unicode text, UTF-8 text, with CRLF, LF line terminators, with escape sequences"

Expected results:
"/var/log/boot.log: Unicode text, UTF-8 text, with LF line terminators, with escape sequences"
Comment 1 Ben Cotton 2022-02-08 21:40:44 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle.
Changing version to 36.
Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2023-04-25 16:44:29 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
