As a general point for all Doc. Proj. committers -- whenever you want to commit outside of doc/ (even if there's a PR associated with the change) to run it past whoever was the last person to touch the file first, just to make sure (or check for a "MAINTAINER=" line in the Makefile, and contact the maintainer). If it's a more general change, run it past -hackers first. Then wait 48 hours or so (longer if it's over a weekend) before doing anything. There are two typical responses to these sorts of requests for review. One is a deafening silence, in which case just go and do it. The other is a 300 message thread about whether or not a colon should have been used instead of a semi-colon. In all cases where someone has actually reviewed the changes, don't forget to include a "Reviewed by:" line in the commit message (and remember, this is not necessary if the person doing the reviewing is the person doing the committing -- it is assumed that the committer has already reviewed the patch carefully. . .) This is the grease that helps the commit wheel move more smoothly. N -- [intentional self-reference] can be easily accommodated using a blessed, non-self-referential dummy head-node whose own object destructor severs the links. -- Tom Christiansen in <375143b5@cs.colorado.edu> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
