Actually, I already have prepared a ruby script that I use to find violators |
| 6 |
to the syntax (like enewuser with /bin/false and cp called with extra |
| 7 |
options). It's on http://dev.gentoo.org/~flameeyes/ruby-checker.tbz2 . |

It's not complete, but it works when it comes to checking for these simple |

I don't trust automatic correction, false positives can always happen, |
| 12 |
currently my way to proceed with such problems is opening a big bug and |
| 13 |
poking maintainers to fix them :) |
