[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#528095: network-manager: Upstream has a fixed /e/n/i parser

[Peter Marschall]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: normal

Hi please consider backporting the updated parser for /e/n/i in upstream's git.

Here's the list of fixes the updated parser provides
- it accepts the last line even if it is not terminated by "\n"
- it skips over-long lines, emits a warning and even takes into account
  that over-long lines may be wrapped to next lines
- it un-wraps wrapped lines
- it uses spaces and tabs equivalently to tokenize the input
- it treats "allow-auto" as a synonym to "auto"
- it splits multi-argument "auto"/"allow-*" into multiple
  single-argument stanzas of the same type
- it warns on data stanzas before the first block stanza

Thanks for maintaining network-manager in Debian
Peter
