Re: Bug#840094: blends-dev: Does not recognize multiline dependencies

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

I have not followed this issue closely, but started reading on Andreas
request.

First of all, I believe this issue is based on incorrect documentation.
The task files have never been RFC822 compliant.  I agree that they
should be RFC822 compliant, but the only handled continuation method
implemented have always been using backslash at the end of the previous
line.

Moving to full RFC822 compliance is probably best done with a test suite
in place, to verify that existing task files still produce the expected
set of tasks after such change.

> Petter, could you please have a look at the patch provided by Ole[1]?

I had a look and tested a bit, and it look good to me.  The old style
backslash continuation used by Debian Edu continue to work, and the new
RFC822 style continuation start working.  I believe it should be applied
and uploaded to Debian.

Should I commit it?
