Whitespace detection has false positives, currently following ebuilds (and maybe others): net-dns/djbdns/djbdns-1.05-r28.ebuild: Trailing whitespace error on line: 28 sys-apps/baselayout-prefix/baselayout-prefix-1.12.14-r1.ebuild: Trailing whitespace error on line: 41
(In reply to Patrick Lauer from comment #0) > net-dns/djbdns/djbdns-1.05-r28.ebuild: Trailing whitespace error on line: > 28 > sys-apps/baselayout-prefix/baselayout-prefix-1.12.14-r1.ebuild: Trailing > whitespace error on line: 41 Both of these unnecessarily escape the new line at the end of a multi-line statement. So, the space between the last work and the backslash appears as trailing whitespace.
