I don't think Jan is opposed to using git (he offered to push his clone somewhere IIRC)
No, he actually did push it - not just offer.
.oO(But putting it up and talking about it on a public mailing list, I at least fulfill "offering" in a legal sense.) ~random thought~
he is opposed to using github. Which are two different subjects.
Yes, I was fully aware of that. But he was claiming a similarity between requesting submissions via github and using a non-git solution
The intent was to say: Requestion a github submission would seem to require registering at Github, which _poses_ an entry barrier. A non-git solution would also pose an entry barrier. In both cases significant enough to just walk away. http://blog.adamspiers.org/2012/11/10/7-principles-for-contributing-patches-... says "Submit patches in the way upstream wants to receive them" Yes, but tread lightly. A good maintainer should be prepared to accept nonperfect submissions massage the code to his needs, doctrines or development environment. Rejecting a patch that fails to apply with TortoiseSVN even though it is totally compliant to the unified diff specification is something not within my maintainer ideals. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
