Matt and Randy, it seems to me the best policy would be "No *need* to rediff". However, if someone (Randy) goes and does it because he just wants to, then I think the policy should be "Slap the old patch headers onto the new patch and submit". I don't think the "Author" field should be changed just because someone fixed some fuzz, though. ISTM that the policy was instated as an answer to why there is fuzz, but there is also a slight bit more maintanence to creating a new one and updating the books. Therefore, if an LFS/BLFS/HLFS developer rediffs a patch, *and* is willing to update all the references, *and* leaves the old patch in the repo, then I don't see a problem. The reason for leaving the old one around is because Matt is probably the only person with write access to every single book repo, so the person who rediffed can't update all the books. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
