The cvs2svn info could be the relevant bit. The config file you have
attached shows that you do NOT have auto props turned on.

If these RPM's were put into the repository by cvs2svn then that is likely
the culprit. I have seen messages to that effect before on their mailing
list.

Your original message said you were using svn import on new code, however,
so we should get clarification before we point fingers anywhere.

Also, it would be worth running the svn proplist command on these RPM's to
see if they even have the svn:eol-style property set on them or not.

By default, Subversion does not touch any file in any way. The only way
it ever alters a file is if you set the svn:eol-style and/or svn:keywords
property on the file. Then, you are explicitly telling Subversion to
touch the file.

Subversion has an auto-props feature, off by default, which can
automatically set properties like this on files as they are added or
imported.

If these files came into your repository via cvs2svn then you should
consult their mailing list. I know this has come up before.
