Re: Add Kris Warkentin to write after maintainers.


You forgot the ChangeLog entry. (also any way of convincing your mailer
to do diffs as text and not binary atachments?).


Sorry.  I thought the MAINTAINERS file didn't need ChangeLog entries....I
was sure I read that somewhere.

Having that file as an exception would make things too complicated. Make change, add changelog, post patch :-)


As far as attachments goes, isn't it easier
to apply a patch if you just have a file rather than cutting and pasting?
The problem with Outlook is that you lose all tab characters - they become
spaces.  I don't think there's a way to work around this.

(bites tongue :-)


My reason for asking this favour is that mailers (e.g., mozilla) refuses to display application/octet-stream attachments as inline text (kind of understandable - the content is not printable). That makes reviewing anything you post that bit harder. To comment, I've got to unpack the mail and then inspect separate files. If, instead the attachment could be made some sort of printable type (how about e-mailing me a diff called diff.txt?), it will be displayed in-line and people will be able to quickly/efficiently cut/paste any reply.

enjoy,
Andrew
