#14799: reduce 'port lint' pedantry ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: ricci@macports.org | Owner: jberry@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by raimue@macports.org): We should discuss the patch naming policy on the list before making changes. I don't know when or how it was decided to be 'patch-*.diff', but why change it to 'patch-*' now and not '*.diff'? I think this was introduced to make it easier for committers to use patches with their favorite editor. Therefore '*.diff' would match this requirement more than 'patch-*'. Also, I think this might have reference at other places (the guide?), where it would have to be changed, too. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14799#comment:1> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
