Re: [dpdk-dev] OK to reindent the pktgen (mix of tabs and spaces, etc.)?

[Matthew Hall <mhall@mhcomputing.net>]

Hello,

In over a month I didn't get a reply if it would be OK to clean up the 
inconsistent tabs and spaces indents in the pktgen, to make it easier 
for the community to read the code and help maintain it and add bug fixes.

It would be very helpful if I could get a response and a plan for this 
if my proposal is not acceptable, or it's not going to be very pleasant 
to patch any bugs I find when testing it, as some of the stuff I'd want 
to work on in the pktgen comes from files with weird indentation that is 
not consistent and thus painful to send patches.

Sincerely,
Matthew.
