Nano has a similar option, but it only seems to take effect if a line gets cut due to auto-formatting i.e. it's not enforced at every save in a systematic way. > also we have the Debian janitor now, which fixes these things for you, > if you let them. :) That only works for Git-maintained packages. For some packages, Git-maintenance would be overkill. Martin-Éric

In principle, "set trimblanks" in .nanorc accomplishes the same thing. In practice, this only seems to work when lines are cut as the result of text justification i.e. it doesn't trim trailing white space unconditionally. Martin-Éric

Hi, Martin-Éric Racine wrote: > Lintian randomly reports trailing white space in debian/changelog. > It would be desirable for debhelper to parse the file and strip > traling white space whnever found. No. debhelper does not edit files which are checked by that check (namely debian/changelog, debian/control and debian/rules). Out of those, it could fix the debian/changelog file in the resulting binary as it fiddles around with it already anyways. But it cannot fix it in the source package. That's the maintainer's work. Additionally that lintian check runs against the source package, not the binary packages. So fixing it in the binary package via debhelper won't make that emitted tag going away. P.S.: If you're an Emacs user, just run "M-x wh-cl" when editing debian/changelog and you're done.
