I'm not quite sure I understand your response here. He didn't ask for you to explain the strategy. He asked for you to provide plain-text patches. I think a point has been made pretty clear at this point: they need plain-text patches. Requiring developers to learn an entirely new work-flow just to get your patches into the tree is time-consuming and bothersome, at the least. This isn't a discussion about whether or not your system is better. It's about how best to integrate your work into Gentoo. The developers have decided the best way is through plain-text patches. That's really all there is to it. Take it or leave it. The discussion about how best to join multiple branches of development across the open-source world together really does not belong in this thread, as far as I can tell. -- Jacob "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now — and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened." Are you ready?
