[perl6/specs] 692474: [S03] Attempt bring more clarity to the semantics ...
Branch: refs/heads/master Home: http://github.com/perl6/specs Commit: 692474967ab8535f370d859488da592555e17d8d http://github.com/perl6/specs/commit/692474967ab8535f370d859488da592555e17d8d Author: TimToady Date: 2010-09-07 (Tue, 07 Sep 2010) Changed paths: M S03-operators.pod Log Message: --- [S03] Attempt bring more clarity to the semantics of series operators. The limit is now always a smartmatch, which must match exactly. No attempt is made to intuit which direction the series is going, or to turn exact matches into inequalities. Non-numeric series behavior is regularized to work like single characters, taking into account the target value as indicative of the range desired. The old semantics are relegated to explicit *.succ and limits. Also, ... and ...^ are defined in terms of last($x) vs last().

I do want the diffs back: its the only way I have to keep at least some idea of what is changing any why. Dont care if I'm called an old foggy either - 1997 wasnt that long ago for me.

In fact, if the diffs are brought back, I'll just subscribe to the commit feed and skip the email notice all together. That seems like a reasonable solution for you, then.

Indeed. Any contributions to restoring that behavior are very welcome. I'm surprised anyone actually ever read the diff part of the message. I would prefer to never see that feature again. This has a link to the commit, which has a much better diff viewer than plaintext email (hello? 1997 called, they want their change notices back). It links to the actual change and even highlights the changes. Now I'll actually take a moment to sift through the changes. I vote to never see those diff emails ever again. In fact, if the diffs are brought back, I'll just subscribe to the commit feed and skip the email notice all together. I like the email diffs and think that both they plus the link to the web diff should be in the emails. Sure, the web page diffs are prettier, but the email diffs are much more convenient, and pretty enough. With the email we don't have to click a link to see what changed. And particularly important, if we want to reply with a *comment* on the diff, it is easy to cite the portions we're commenting on, because a simple reply on the list message has the diffs quoted. -- Darren Duncan

We know that a lot of people would like to see the diffs available through the commit messages, but afaik none of us actively maintaining the github archive quite know how to make that happen. Something beyond "please bring diffs back" would be very helpful to us here. For those who prefer to just have links to the diffs without the text of the diffs, subscribing to the commit RSS feed is probably the best bet. Pm

Something > beyond "please bring diffs back" would be very helpful to us here. Currently the "Email" service hook in github is enabled for the specs repo. They are open source, see http://github.com/github/github-services for details. Somebody could implement the include-the-diff feature, and make the github folks apply the changes. Or somebody could follow the feed and send emails to p6l, in which case I'd disable the service hook. Cheers, Moritz
