Description Uwe Breidenbach 2012-05-24 16:10:55 UTC

app-portage/eix doesn't recognize key-value-pairs with whitespaces in config files, where portage does.

Example of excepted key-value-pairs:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

Example of ignored key-value-pairs:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS = "~x86"

Example of config files:
/etc/make.conf

Comment 1 Martin Väth 2012-05-24 19:18:15 UTC

This is a problematic change since practically the same code is used as
for parsing shell-file syntax.
I tried to improve the accepted syntax in both cases in eix git master
on BerliOS (>=eix-0.25.6), hopefully not destroying some other
corner cases this way...
