at some point, they started adding standard comments "Parabola changes and rationales:" to libre PKGBUILDs - IMHO, that is the best place to document the changes and rationales; so they are always "at your fingertips" - otherwise you need to refer to the blacklist, then follow it's reference to a bug report (which still does not exist for all)
even if the PKGBUILD needs 100 lines of comments, as a few have now, that still seems to be the best place to document all of the changes and each rationale - i have been adding those "Parabola changes and rationales:" every time i see a PKGBUILD without one in libre, or nonprism - there were some that i needed to deduce from the diff against arch; because it was not documented anywhere else also, in the PKGBUILD they are always "in your face", reminding the maintainer to re-evaluate the rationales from time to time, rather than simply tweaking the changes, only to make it build one more time - the day may come when that work is no longer necessary _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
