[Sugar-devel] FYI: GCI is discontinued

2020-06-10 Thread Devin Ulibarri
Hi,

Members of the GCI Mentors mailing list received this message today
from Stephanie T. of Google.

Some of you may not be on that list, but interested to know so I am
copying it here.

Thanks to everyone for all their efforts (and hacking) over the years
for GCI with SL!

Re: [Sugar-devel] Debian Advocacy for Sugar - Update

2020-06-10 Thread James Cameron
Shaan,

* the sources are different, and this is not unusual, and not a problem worth 
reporting unless an explanation cannot be found,

* the commits in salsa explain the reason for every difference.

Now that you have detected a difference, please make sure you read the commits, 
in all aspects;

* the commit message,

* the commit diff,

* the context or ordering in which the diff occurs.

The diff format must be learned to the point you can be comfortable to make a 
change by hand.  Not that you have to; tools like patch(1) can do it for you, 
but sometimes a diff is malformed when it is sent by other means than git.
