Sure I did... that's not the breakage of a QA tool ciaranm has been talking about, though. If some tool stops to work b/c of spacing/indenting issues, then it's broken. Meanwhile, if you can't bear formating/whitespace issues, then either fix it yourself or file a bug and wait until someone gets to it or fixes it when next revbump/another bunch of more important fixes is due. Expecting that someone will fix a cosmetic issue within five minutes from the time when a bug is filed and ranting about it on #gentoo-qa and mailing lists isn't useful but rather plain annoying. --=20 jakub ------------2410D1CA1B41DD65 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iD8DBQFEBX8ohxfV/c66PZ4RAk2EAKCzh7E5bLEwwDLWZBKhbvPFBtP5kgCeIA2J CpOfg+aOAbt22yupuPtgIgQ= =W0bV -----END PGP MESSAGE----- ------------2410D1CA1B41DD65-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
