The actual formatting is 'correct' (in the sense of > conforming to what 'indent' produces). These days, GNU Coding Standards state that hard tabs are optional, but if present they represent 8 spaces. Many GNU projects use a space-only policy (GNU coreutils for example). So if I have any say, I'd recommend that you re-tune your indent settings for space-only on any file that you reindent to keep in the GNU style. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
