I’ve updated the documentation for the pppoe and mobile_ppp connections
in
the netctl.profile(5) manpage. How should I submit it, a patch to this
list
or a pull-request to the git repo on projects.archlinux.org?


A pull-request is a bit hard to review (and thats one thing this list
is for). Therefore I prefer patches to the list (git format-patch
style for ease of applying).

The changes to the documentation look good, although there are some
indentation issues. In the documentation all lines should be within 72
characters and indentation is 4 spaces deep.

I'm looking forward to your patches,

Hi Robbie,

Here’s the patch for the documentation.

Ah, but in this form (patch as attachment), we still don't have the
benefits we could. I'll deal with it for this one, but next time, make
sure to use `git format-patch`, so that the patch is in-lined, easy to
review and easy to apply.

On a different note, is this okay with you?

I’m new to contributing to open-source projects, so finding out how to format and submit contributions feels a bit trial-and-error. Is there information for new contributors in, say, the (dev) wiki?

And yeah, that patch is fine. I’ve only implemented the code that I needed to get my modem to work, so there’s almost certainly things that I’ve missed. Hopefully no (major) bugs but definitely missing features.
