Standardizing "Foobared by:" entries would improve the quality of our ports ?

I know a lot of people who just want to track down ports changes in cvs-ports@, they don't want to contribute and they don't want to get committers hats. > In this case I find it useful if they learn most common mistakes > *before* they start making them themselves. > This is one of rare cases when one can learn on others' mistakes > as well (i.e., good) as on their own. I didn't tell it's a bad idea to send your comments, everybody's welcome to do it. But this kind of comments, like in this thread are nonsense. If Andrew doesn't have a *feeling* what comments are needed and why they're needed, he should go on with reviews privately together with committers/submitter. -Kirill _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
