[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#365473: wpasupplicant: configuration file format could be less strict

[Sam Hocevar (Debian packages)]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.4.8-3
Severity: wishlist

   Maybe the configuration parser could be less strict. The following
for instance is invalid, just because of the spaces around "=":

network = {
    ssid = "mynetwork"
    psk = "wootwoot"
}

   Having spaces around "=" improves readability and I do not think it
would be hard supporting that.
