> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: File Install
> Affects Versions: fileinstall-3.5.0
> Reporter: munene kiruja
> Assignee: Guillaume Nodet
> Fix For: fileinstall-3.6.2, utils-1.10.2

> Attachments: ConfigurationHandler.java

>
> 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...
