It has been discussed before, at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/12/19 . What is really frustrating is that some of the people which _do_ enforce one style of the two (tabs-only or tabs-spaces) have only indirectly voiced their preferred style, as in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/19/67 . Often it was just (1)"checkpatch flagged your spaces, hence they are wrong" instead of (2)"in my tree, I only take tabs-only patches". Now back to coding, oh and don't forget send a patch for CodingStyle since a mail without one is often taken even less seriously. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
