| 1 | I noticed this problem now that joe was modified to comply with this |
| 2 | rule set in devmanual: |
| 3 | http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/file-format/index.html#indenting-and-whitespace |
| 4 | |
| 5 | It stated a tab represents 4 spaces. Where does this rule come from? Why |
| 6 | 8 spaces wasn't chosen instead? I say that because looks like 8 spaces |
| 7 | equivalence is used by tools like "cat", "less", even CVS reports in |
| 8 | gentoo-commits show tabs as 8 spaces instead of 4. |
