If your mail client treats attachments the same as inline text, your mail client is very badly broken as a mail client. And if not, then it is obviously much more cumbersome to review an attachment. Also replying to multiple patches in a single mail makes everyone else's life miserable for tracking the review. But more importantly, email has all the fundamental problems that I already raised several times in previous threads. It simply can't compete with something that's designed for code review and actually tracks and organises relevant metadata. > and both are more convenient than a web monstrosity? Unless you're using an extremely old or underpowered system that can't run a reasonably recent web browser, no. And if you do, then good luck compiling FFmpeg with it. >Guys, have you never spend five minutes learning how to use mail? Yeah, we gave. And that definitely doesn't cover sending and reviewing patches because that's not what email was intended for. Git didn't even exist then. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list [email protected] https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
