If only tabs and *no* spaces were allowed at the beginning of lines it |
| 8 |
would be very easy to check ebuild scripts for wrong spaces. |

We could rip the required code from the Emacs Makefile mode, which |
| 11 |
checks for suspicious tabs and highlights these areas when a user |
| 12 |
tries to save the Makefile. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
BTW, if a single tab was used in front of dependencies the output |
| 15 |
would look like this: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
tabwidth 4: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
DEPEND="virtual/glibc |
| 20 |
virtual/x11 |
| 21 |
RDEPEND="virtual/glibc |
| 22 |
virtual/x11 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
tabwidth 8: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
DEPEND="virtual/glibc |
| 27 |
virtual/x11 |
| 28 |
RDEPEND="virtual/glibc |
| 29 |
virtual/x11 |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
IMHO both outputs look good, and with this solution developers could |
| 32 |
still set the tabwidth to 4 or 8. |
