How can I make the installer convert my plain text files in DOS format to Unix format?

Answer:

Sometimes your installer will bundle text files with different end-of-line characters than the platform you are installing to understands You can convert plain text files in DOS/MAC format to Unix format with the dos2unix action. 


          <dos2unix>
             <files>*/*.sql;*/*.sh;*.ascii</files>
          </dos2unix>

You can find more information about this action in the Unix manual page for the dos2unix command.
