You know, these guys aren't committers. I'm not sure you're doing folks a real service by telling them to go back and try again. The ports they turn it, I've nearly never seen one that worked correctly right off the bat anyways, so it has to be reconstituted no matter what, before committing. If it has new files, I don't want them as diffs anyhow. I think you are raising the contribution level too high here. I'm not saying your advice is wrong, I'm saying you are too strict, and the committer who takes it is going to know how to handle it anyhow. I would be on your side if it was a contribution to the main tree, where we rightly expect a higher level of competence. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic and jaunt, both FreeBSD-current.
