Milestone: Needs developer review

Should be good to go, for collecting some feedback...

Opinions on script gotten so far on the mailing list:

  • tabs and whitespace in Portfiles should be free-form
  • newline after long_description might be optional ?
  • "knowing" the location of Portfile is bad practice

This is not a duplicate of #463, it's the start of a fix/implementation for it.

It was requested that it was posted to Trac as a patch, rather than commited...

Resolution: fixed

Well, it's in. Enhancements should be new tickets.

(whitespace-checks and long_desc-newline removed, ignoring that knowing Portfile is "bad practice")
