Re: Knee-deep in the isearch

Hrvoje> You don't follow xemacs-patches, do you? :-) Hmm. As someone who hasn't been following xemacs-patches, I wonder: Suppose you don't read the patches, only the ChangeLogs and the explanation (if any). Do you think that's enough to understand what the bugs and improvements are, and their importance? For example: Hrvoje> I fixed that bug last week. It's been annoying me for Hrvoje> ages. If you're curious, I can tell you where the bug Hrvoje> was. If this is an easily introduced bug, maybe it would be instructive to explain it here, and maybe prevent someone else from falling into the trap. OTOH, if that would be obvious if one reads xemacs-patches (but not the patches themselves, normally), then "we students" should be following xemacs-patches instead. Of course once I judge the patch important, I should read the patch itself. What I'm asking is "Do most patch submissions explain their importance in 25 words or less?" If not, then really it makes sense for me, and probably most testers, to wait for CVS commits, which take place rather frequently. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ What are those two straight lines for?
