| 1 | Current devmanual suggest to not use line lengths over 80 characters. |

| 4 | I wrote a repoman check that checks that the value doesn't go over 80. |
| 5 | This is useful for tools like eix that show the DESCRIPTION. The thing |
| 6 | is that lots of ebuilds will fail this currently. Do you think we should |
| 7 | use a higher limit like 100? qualudis seems to use 120 currently. |
