Re: [Bluez-devel] [PATCH] XML SDP Record Registration

Marcel,

Oof, ouch.

In my defense, I followed the advice given in Linux CodingStyle document.  
Most of the indentation issues you had a problem with was due to me using 
'indent' with the suggested options.

In the future I will happily follow the code style conventions you outline.  
However, given that this is my first serious submission I cannot be expected 
to 'guess' the conventions if they are not written down, especially since 
these are not outlined in the Linux CodingStyle document.  

Since it seems that BlueZ has further conventions that developers should be 
following, which are not outlined in the Linux Coding Style documents, I 
suggest that you include them on the Coding Style section of the Development 
page of bluez.org to avoid such problems in the future :)

Regards,
-Denis
