Why apologize to me? I don't mind. Plus I've ignored most of the thread. > But: > * isn't opening bugs the standard way to propose a change/fix? > * _by now_ follow the HIG means commit proposed changes Bugs don't have to be opened for l10n / build breakage patches (but you report when you can't fix or if you are unsure of your fix). HIG is across GNOME. I don't care whatever is done, if it is small (three dots or not), all modules should be consistent. So whenever a trusted someone thinks it is ok yes/no, I'd like if maintainers would/could allow people to just commit the change. Of course, if you want to open bugs, feel free. What I am after is that certain people would be trusted enough to be able to just commit, removing a requirement to open a bug report. I looked at the commits within KDE. There you see e.g. art people committing directly into modules (without bug reports, etc). Other people also made certain changes that weren't specific to that module. e.g. for gnome-blog some bugreport was opened to add a Tango module. IMO that could've been committed to the repos directly. Same for any HIG fixes, changing the build to enable LINGUAS. It won't always be perfect, but allows for faster/easier development. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
