    What have your experiences been with D2Bridge (https://www.d2bridge.com.br/)? Good, bad, indifferent? D2Bridge looks like a nice way to add a web interface to an application, but were there any gotchas that caught you out?

    This is definitely because the .dpk has LF line endings. Steps to reproduce manually: 1. Open SynEditDR.dpk in Notepad++. Make sure "rrequires", "ocontains", and "d." are all fixed and correct. 2. Turn on View -> Show Symbol -> Show End of Line so you can see the end of line characters. 3. Convert SynEditDR.dpk to Unix line endings in Notepad++ with Edit -> EOL Conversion -> Unix (LF) and save 4. Open SynEditDR.dpk in Delphi 12 5. In the project manager, right click on SynEditDR290.bpl and select Options... 6. In the Project Options window make no changes and click the Save button 7. Click Save All on the toolbar or use File -> Save All.. 8. Now go back to Notepad++. It will have detected that the .dpk has changed. Reload the file and you'll see that it's now corrupted with a mix of LF and CRLF line endings, and the usual "rrequires", "ocontains", and "d." problem. If you do exactly the same thing but start by making sure the .dpk has CRLF line endings then there is no corruption of the file.

    This problem with .DPKs appears to have existed since at least 2005: http://www.delphigroups.info/2/9/691424.html

    Given that the problem may well be as simple as the compiler will corrupt .DPKs which have LF line endings, why are the GetIt servers not detecting this issue in packages in the first place? Broken packages shouldn't be offered for download. Does GetIt do no validation and reporting on broken packages on the server side? For this particular problem, GetIt could even automatically fix the .DPKs both on the server side and on the client side.

    When I try to install AsyncPro 2024.02, VirtualTree 2024.02, or SynEdit 2024.02 via GetIt, the process somehow manages to corrupt the DPK files. It changes "requires" to "rrequires", "contains" to "ocontains", and "end." to "d." All the .dpk and project files also have Unix LF line endings. I get this in the Messages window: Maybe Delphi trying to read Unix text files it doesn't support is what leads to the file corruption. What's going on and how do I make GetIt work for these packages?
