------------------------------------
Summary: FileInstall writes .config files back with backslashes
escaping spaces in config values
Key: FELIX-5145
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5145
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Configuration Admin, File Install
Affects Versions: fileinstall-3.5.0
Reporter: munene kiruja
Fix For: fileinstall-3.5.2
Fileinstall 3.5.0 added handling of .config file with an expanded syntax for
configuration files allowing proper handling of arrays, etc. A great feature.
There is one thing that appears to be handled improperly though - if the values
in the key/value pairs have spaces in them, the files are written back with
backslash escapes for the spaces.
What is the justification for that?
The effect is that the file is different from the original - which is quite a
pain for automated installation with files generated from templates. The fake
changes become a maintenance nightmare.
It appears that escaping of spaces can be harmlessly removed, and perhaps
should not be a part of the feature...
