Description Michael Hanselmann (hansmi) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-05 12:02:45 UTC 
repoman fails on paludis-0.14.1.ebuild over these lines:
    local repositories=`echo default $(usev cran) | tr -s \  ,`
    local clients=`echo default $(usev contrarius) | tr -s \  ,`

with this error message:
   sys-apps/paludis/paludis-0.14.1.ebuild: Line continuation ("\") Syntax Error. Line 51
   sys-apps/paludis/paludis-0.14.1.ebuild: Line continuation ("\") Syntax Error. Line 52

The syntax, backslash space, is valid, tough.

In svn r5471 I've completely removed the line continuation syntax check since it doesn't seem worth the effort to fix it.
Comment 2 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2007-01-07 20:15:11 UTC 
This has been released in 2.1.2_rc4-r7.
