[Gretl-devel] Re: "overly significant" whitespace in package spec file?

Hi,
building a package with a hand-crafted spec file failed for me right now
(on Windows), saying there were no public interfaces. Changing the start
of the line "public =" (with two blanks) to "public =" (one blank)
seemed to fix it.
Is it perhaps a bit too pedantic to require exactly a single blank there?
My guess is that the culprit is this line:
if (!strncmp(line, "public =", 8)) {
which is line 3803 in lib/src/gretl_func.c.
Is some regexp allowed in that context so that also "public=" or "public
=" etc. would work?
thanks
