Just to add a few more thoughts: the user took the time to modify the |
| 19 |
old ebuild to work properly with the new version, test it, and submit it |
| 20 |
- a significant investment of time. To then not even take the time to do |
| 21 |
a diff and look over the changes is the same as saying "I don't value |
| 22 |
your contribution." That's not a good approach at all and certainly |
| 23 |
won't encourage people to help out. |
