[chris@amnesiac]~% However, the Porter's Handbook [1] says: Note that [bsd.port.mk] uses a non-standard tab setting. So if it's non-standard, does that mean I should use 8-column tabs while creating/editing port Makefiles, or should I match the 'non-standard' bsd.port.mk? Or is it just personal preference and the committers don't care? Chris [1] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/own-port.html
