Hi! > I did not say it was a bad idea to update the submitted port. I said it > was a bad idea to do it without asking the submitter first. I disagree: Waiting for submitter response on minor changes does slow down or even stall the intended action. Yes, it might educate the submitter, but at the expense of committer patience. If we have better tools to estimate the submitter response time/quality, that might change, but until then, it's better to ask for foregiveness than to ask for permission. -- pi@FreeBSD.org +49 171 3101372 2 years to go !
