This is rather odd, currently the Perl code consists of an ugly mix of whitespaces and tabs. The code has ~95% whitespaces, so IMO the above should be rephrased to 'please use whitespaces as everyone else'.
No, we're using perl not python in the backend.
That was below the belt and I don't see the relation. Currently, the _Perl_ backend uses a 2 spaces indentation scheme AFAICS. This is also followed quite well with the exceptions of some tabs here and there, which the reverted patch tried to fix, simply.
The *indentation scheme* is 2 spaces, but that has nothing to do with used tabs.
Sorry, can't follow you. If there is an indentation scheme and some code in the repository violates that scheme, what is so wrong in fixing that? Lemme guess, your problem is that the tabs between code and comments are converted also? If that's the case this could've been resolved waay easier ;-)
Vi automatically converts the leading spaces to tabs, assuming the standard tab setting at every 8 characters.
What Vi converts is highly dependant on personal settings. IMHO someone had code committed accidentally with the wrong settings or another editor, who cares. Even more so, the code in BSXML assumes that a leading tab equals 3 spaces ... -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Sascha Peilicke SUSE Linux Products GmbH
