Note also that we have keywords for both Qt and Gtk, so if a patch deals largely with platform-independent code, but has consequences for either of these ports, for example new API requirements or DRT hooks, please add the keyword to it pops up in filters. tor arne ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev

Re: [webkit-dev] Tagging bug names with a platform name: limit to platform-specific patches
Just want to add my two cents. Based on my own experience, I think a patch that targets to fix a platform-specific problem but ends up making changes in platform-independent code, often means either the fix is problematic or a new bug/test case needs to be created for the independent part only.

Sounds like a good idea, I'm all for it. Kenneth On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 1:18 PM, Darin Adler da...@apple.com wrote: Hi folks.
