I scripted an automatic whitespace cleanup, which resuled in a fat patchbomb (about 18 MB, split into > 3600 files (because that way, some patches are going to apply cleanly)). Obviously applying that would increase the patch size for the next version by 100%, so that won't be the way to go. (If you still want to look, see http://7eggert.dyndns.org/l/patches/trailing-ws/) Therefore I suggest that I will - make a script that will take a patch, apply it and cleanup the patched files as far as a simple script can do the job, so each patched file will be ws-clean and the amount of patches will still stay low. - a second script that will do some cleanup while the resulting patch is less than an annoying amount of KB, so you can cleanup some files that wouldn't get patched otherwise. -- Ich danke GMX dafür, die Verwendung meiner Adressen mittels per SPF verbreiteten Lügen zu sabotieren.
