The ebuildchecker posted earlier will tell you which ebuilds are affected |
17 |
by tab bugs, A= settings and the use of try, among other things. |

I have been thinking of writing a cleanup script that fixes most of these |
20 |
things automatically. It would mean that we developers would only have to |
21 |
look over the ebuilds instead of actually doing the rewrites. However, it |
22 |
might turn out to be a complete mess, so unless we think this is a Big |
23 |
Issue, I'd rather spend my time elsewhere. |
