Dear All,

>From bsd.port.mk:

[chris@amnesiac]~% head /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk |tail -n 1
# Please view me with 4 column tabs!
[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
