The following reply was made to PR ports/12457; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Sheldon Hearn <sheldonh@uunet.co.za> To: mi@aldan.algebra.com Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, Tim Vanderhoek <vanderh@ecf.utoronto.ca> Subject: Re: ports/12457: lots of bsd.port.mk code executed needlessly Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 00:20:48 +0200 Hi Mikhail, I think what Tim's saying is that, as long as you're not submitting diffs, your PR consists of little more than "the ports mechanism could be faster". For a PR like that to be useful, it really does need to be backed up by working diffs. If you don't intend to work on them, it's senseless having a PR open for this. Think about how many DreamList PR's we'd have open if we operated like that. Tim's message was uncharacteristically unfriendly, but I think the fact remains that your PR isn't very useful as it stands. Ciao, Sheldon.
