IMO, it should be fixed to reflect majority (and > specifically portage) behaviour. But some EAPI-0 accepting Portage versions don't accept inline comments. Using inline comments in the tree will break those Portage versions. This one's especially an issue when you consider how long it's been since Gentoo has released official stage tarballs... > Interesting to note, however, that Paludis doesn't accept inline > comments, and this behaviour predates PMS. Paludis behaviour there matches Portage behaviour at the time it was written, except that instead of proceeding with garbage values, Paludis gives an error. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/eeXzk3ga3DcUlZ=KDCYHF73 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkhSSJMACgkQ96zL6DUtXhFh0wCfXBBnmCP3Zy/T3RiUhRh1M8w9 lCgAnR2/7MH9ycGKWcW1kE9/w6I1AO0m =E94d -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/eeXzk3ga3DcUlZ=KDCYHF73-- -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
