James, I applied these. |
| 23 |
|

Not to embarrass you Alex, but think about the situation these |
| 25 |
contributors are in: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
1) if the post to bugzilla they're told not to because the patches are |
| 28 |
for an overlay. also patches for the tree should be absolutely minimal |
| 29 |
to show the issue while for hte overlay i just want the full shebang so |
| 30 |
I can just conveniently apply. Furthermore in bugzilla, they can't |
| 31 |
assign the bugs to me directly and the maintainers of packages get |
| 32 |
annoyed wondering what is this stuff. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
2) if they email here they're told its not appropriate either because |
| 35 |
its a patch or because its musl and not hardened etc. I'd bother infra |
| 36 |
for a new list and/or repo but they're overworked. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
add to this the fact that I often have to give advice on how to format |
| 39 |
these patches and contributors get frustrated and they loose enthusiasm |
| 40 |
for the project. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Soo .... as a word to contributers. If your contributing musl patches, |
| 43 |
email them directly to me: blueness@g.o. If you simultaneously |
| 44 |
want to get the stuff into the tree and that is definitely our goal, |
| 45 |
then open a bug on bugzilla and submit just a very minimal patch there. |
| 46 |
Say in comment 0 to cc me as the musl maintainer. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Thanks again! |
