Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] Changed copyright to 2006 - 2015 in version info

20 Jan 2015

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad that this was a minor edit, otherwise
line formatting would be a big issue. I wasn't aware of the fact that
Thunderbird messed it up.

Your feedback is appreciated. To be honest, I've never helped developing
with projects in this manner (mailing lists, submitting patches instead of
just using GitHub), so I'm sorry for the messed up patch submission.
git-send-email will be used here in the future.

Oh, and sorry for scrambling my email address like that!

Kind regards,

Robin

Subject: [PATCH] Changed copyright to 2006 - 2015 in version info
Please use imperative mood in subject lines to stay in line with what
tools like git merge and git revert do (Revert .., Merge ...), to make
the verb shorter (Changed -> Change) and to make it more readable when
being reverted (Revert "Changed .." -> Revert "Change ..").

The copyright notice still displayed: 2006 - 2014. I changed the version
method to 2006 - 2015

Your email address is already visible in the list archives so this is
unnecessary. That said I'm very biased towards using good spam filters
and against making life harder for users (which scrambling your email
address is doing for everyone involved) so ymmv.
Apart from that please use git-send-email to send patches in the future
as this is yet another example of other software messing up whitespace
and/or line breaks. In this case it's somewhat easy to fix because the
patch is small.
Also patchwork (patch tracking system) doesn't pick up this patch
(likely because of the formatting issue) so it could get lost.
