Hi,
up to now I didn't subscribe to "macports-dev" mailing list, even if I use and
collaborate in MacPorts for years! ...
due to little traffic on that list it seems resanable to merge into one.
Thougths?
I value having both a macports-users and a macports-dev list. There are
topics which clearly belong in -users (how do I migrate?), and topics
which clearly belong in -dev (how do I fix a problem in this portfile I
am working on?).
There are topics which may start on -users but then migrate to -dev.
Reports of problems with ports, which need to become fixes to ports, are
an example. The user's question about the port not working is
appropriate for -user. As it becomes apparent that the underlying cause
requires a fix in the portfile, the discussion may become more
appropriate for -dev.
So, personally, I am not in favour of merging these two lists into one.
