I believe this is reasoning is no longer valid. Current versions of Portage accepts inline comments just fine (so does pkgcore). So, your logic for PMS not allowing inline comments is based on "some [...] [old] Portage versions" and does not specify current Portage behaviour. IMO, it should be fixed to reflect majority (and specifically portage) behaviour. Interesting to note, however, that Paludis doesn't accept inline comments, and this behaviour predates PMS. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
