* I'd like to know how the PortsMeisters feel about my doing this for * ports submissions. The gain is that users and future tinkers alike will * be able to see, at a glance, what a patch is supposed to do. The loss is * in disk space. The tradeoff is actually not in disk space (who cares about a few dozen bytes? :) but in human labor in the future as whoever fixes the port will have to hand-edit the patch to add it back. That said, it's certainly fine for me. (I edit patches all the time anyway.) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
