Of course, there are such advantages to using bugzilla, but the above listed
steps are a lot more overhead for submission of trivial patches than
cvs diff foo.c | mail -s "Trivial patch to foo" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
For a very short patch like this:
diff -u -r1.13 xf86MiscExt.c
--- xf86MiscExt.c 3 Apr 2003 16:15:56 -0000 1.13
+++ xf86MiscExt.c 4 Jun 2003 18:44:04 -0000
@@ -618,7 +618,7 @@
{
ScrnInfoPtr pScr = xf86Screens[scrnIndex];
- DEBUG_P("MiscExtGetFilePaths");
+ DEBUG_P("MiscExtPassMessage");
if (*pScr->HandleMessage == NULL)
return BadImplementation;
a simpler submission method seems more appropriate.
Anyone know anything more about the mythical email interface to bugzilla?
