Bug#823889: ITP: ws-butler -- unobtrusively remove trailing whitespace in Emacs



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Sean Whitton <spwhitton@spwhitton.name>

* Package name    : ws-butler
  Version         : 0.3+git.a998a23
  Upstream Author : Le Wang
* URL             : https://github.com/lewang/ws-butler/
* License         : GPL-3+
  Programming Lang: Emacs Lisp
  Description     : unobtrusively remove trailing whitespace in Emacs

This package provides ws-butler-mode and ws-butler-global-mode.  Upon
saving a file in Emacs, these modes delete trailing whitespace on lines
of the buffer that have been edited.

As compared with simply calling delete-trailing-whitespace in your
before-save-hook, ws-butler has the advantage of not cluttering up
version control commits with whitespace cleanup outside of the part of
the file you have edited.

I am packaging version 0.3+git.a998a23 because since version 0.3
upstream has refactored ws-butler's code quite significantly.  I intend
to test it throughly on my own machine before fulfilling this ITP.
