I think I would disagree with you here. I think that having a special
'eblank' or 'eseparator' command is much more readable in an ebuild.
Consider:
pkg_postinst() {
elog "Knock knock"
eblank
ewarn "Who's there?"
eblank
elog "Interrupting Cow"
eblank
ewarn "Interrup..."
elog "Moo!"
}
Versus:
pkg_postinst() {
elog -p "Knock knock"
ewarn "Who's there?"
elog -pt "Interrupting Cow"
ewarn "Interrup..."
elog "Moo!"
}
I think that in the former case it's much more obvious how the actual
output is going to look. If the cost is an ebuild that's 3 lines
longer, I think that's reasonable.
