As a reviewer using the forge solution, I am still able to pull the issuer branch and then resolve the conflicts if any. Using “our” workflow, I fail earlier in the process. I am not able to apply the patches against any branches (pull the PR somehow). An example: [bug#62202] [PATCH 0/21] Juliahub import script. https://issues.guix.gnu.org/msgid/871qlq89kz....@ngraves.fr Even before looking at it, I have to spend some time to find a way to manually apply the patches. Then, rebasing on the top of master could lead to conflict but that another story and the same appears whatever the workflow. Nicolas did a cool job with this Julia importer, and because of this first boring task, I am procrastinating and delaying to the eternal tomorrow the review of the work. Whatever the complexity of this task, there is no value for the project. I read Ricardo’s message [1] as: our workflow is far to help us for having smooth reviews so it’s hard to convince folks already familiar with other workflows to adopt our. Not saying that these other workflows are better either. Cheers, simon 1: Re: How can we decrease the cognitive overhead for contributors?
