For the record, I still think this intentional breakage is a bad idea. In the short term, it causes a known inconvenience
FTR, i pulled asdf when i saw the request for testing, tried to build our stuff, saw that iolib failed (a dependency), and then i decided to git reset and stay there until others struggle through this, even though we also have some operation subclasses. there are situations when the least inconvenient and most productive way of breaking backwards compatibility is by starting with a clean slate.
PS: I used to avoid committing spaces at end of line. I see that you have some.
emacs has nice tools to show lose whitespace (see the varaible whitespace-style and there are some faces, too). it even has automatic cleanup, but that can be too intrusive when working on other people's code. -- • attila lendvai • PGP: 963F 5D5F 45C7 DFCD 0A39 -- “If men are good, you don't need government; if men are evil or ambivalent, you don't dare have one.” — Robert LeFevre (1911–1986)
