I hope not; there are plenty of archs that need arch-specific patches. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Of course in the case that the patch is not truly arch-specific, but is |
| 13 |
being applied to a single arch only out of "courtesy" to the |
| 14 |
maintainter, I would say that it is a bad idea. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
My general approach to this second case is to make the change |
| 17 |
arch-specific and then file a bug and/or email to the maintainer to |
| 18 |
make it arch-independent. I also throw a todo in my calendar reminding |
| 19 |
me to bug the said maintainer if there is no reply in 1 month. |
