http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25084 src/xercesc/util/Makefile.in contains spaces in wrong places ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-12-03 13:29 ------- Lines in a Makefile should not contain spaces before the first non-whitespace character on that line, but is it a very minor problem if they do. However, replacing all occurrences of 4 consecutive spaces with a tab character is not the solution, because this destroys the layout of the file, making it hard to read for humans. Another problem with changing spaces into tab characters seems to be that certain editors (and other applications) take it upon themselves to change tab characters into spaces, aligning the text on multiples of either 4 or 8 characters. Also I have noticed that there are (many) more Makefile.ins in Xerces that have the same (very minor) problem. The bottom line is that I now think that fixing this problem should and can wait until the Xerces build-system is reworked; see for instance my bug http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24971 (and many others). I am sorry to have bothered you with this bug, and I hope you can retract the patch from CVS. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
