The ebuildchecker posted earlier will tell you which ebuilds are affected by tab bugs, A= settings and the use of try, among other things. I have been thinking of writing a cleanup script that fixes most of these things automatically. It would mean that we developers would only have to look over the ebuilds instead of actually doing the rewrites. However, it might turn out to be a complete mess, so unless we think this is a Big Issue, I'd rather spend my time elsewhere. Karl T
