Once I was asked if I could look into a package. I spent a day writing |
| 16 |
a couple of ebuilds including fixing the build system of the target |
| 17 |
package. When I presented a first git-format-patch I was ask to do a |
| 18 |
github pull request instead. So I asked why not git-am? The answer was |
| 19 |
- don't be a *beep*. As a result the package never got fixed and I |
| 20 |
outright ignore any repo not hosted on Gentoo infra. |
