Patch noise [Was: GIT Noise]
2009/2/6 Maarten Maathuis: If you were really seeing a duplicate of a git commit list, then you would see a whole different picture. For you patches may just be noise, but that's not the case for everyone. So ok then, what is the purpose of posting thousands of patches to xorg list? Cheers, Igor ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
Re: Patch noise [Was: GIT Noise]
2009/2/6 Maarten Maathuis: It gives people time to check, review and/or complain about patches. Now that the xorg-devel list was made, it will obviously move there. I certainly check patches that catch my eye (a small fraction of the total, i admit). Does one not submit patches to the maintainer for the sub-project anymore?..

2009/2/6 Dan Nicholson: Development = patches. While development includes patches, development list is not a version control system! Cheers, Igor ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

That creates a single point of failure--you are now relying on that person and that person only to get your patch in. That also does not give any third parties who might be impacted by your patch a chance to comment. Now, if any of the sub-projects were large enough to warrant their own mailing lists (which does not seem to be the case) then sending patches to those lists would make sense. So, since 1st Jan there's been, by my guestimate, around 2000 messages on the xorg list... Are you seriously saying that that is a good way of managing x.org development cycle and that nothing gets lost due to the current SNR???

Re: Poll: Should Xorg change from using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to something harder for users to press by accident?
2008/9/23 Jason Spiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]: In Linux, Ctrl-Alt-Del reboots unconditionally only in console mode. Only expert users use console mode. When X is running, on all my Linux machines, Ctrl-Alt-Del brings up a shutdown-or-reboot? dialog instead. The vast majority of Linux users run X. That's the desktop environment asking you that, not X. If you really have to, provide a zap hook so that the desktop environment can catch it. -- Igor :-) ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

Accidental zaps often cause data loss. Data loss is always unacceptable and Xorg should do whatever it takes to prevent it. Pushing the reset button or pulling the cable from the wall also causes data loss, but you don't see flip covers protecting the reset buttons nor are the power cables welded into the wall at one end and the unit at the other. Unfortunately, there's no cure for human stupidity ;-) Doesn't CTRL+ALT+DELETE reboot the machine unconditionally? -- Igor ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
