Bug#598922: apt-cache showsrc prints too many spaces
Package: apt
Version: 0.8.5
Severity: normal
Hi,
one can span fields like Uploaders on multiple lines, using several
spaces to align everything, which is what evolution-mapi people did:
| Uploaders: Heikki Henriksen <heikkih@gmail.com>,
| Lawrence Walton <lawrence@the-penguin.otak.com>,
| Loic Minier <lool@dooz.org>,
| Oystein Gisnas <oystein@gisnas.net>,
| Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org>,
| Jelmer Vernooij <jelmer@debian.org>,
| Yves-Alexis Perez <corsac@debian.org>,
| David Weinehall <tao@debian.org>
But it looks like apt-cache showsrc almost display them as-is, that is
just stripping newlines:
| Uploaders: Heikki Henriksen <heikkih@gmail.com>, Lawrence Walton <lawrence@the-penguin.otak.com>, Loic Minier <lool@dooz.org>, Oystein Gisnas <oystein@gisnas.net>, Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org>, Jelmer Vernooij <jelmer@debian.org>, Yves-Alexis Perez <corsac@debian.org>, David Weinehall <tao@debian.org>
Mraw,
KiBi.
