I tell the committer of this guideline, just like it was told to me on my first commits; and I agree that it sucks to give or receive a -1 for this, but let me put it this way, how many times will you be getting/giving a -1 to the same person for this? If it's a first time committer you'll probably say it once, they'll learn it, fix it and them we have all our commits conforming to our guidelines, not such a big deal (although I agree with Miguel Angel that this should be automated) and if it's not a first time committer he should have known better and he deserves the -1 for not paying attention and/or not having his dev env properly setup. > Andreas Jaeger aj@{suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi > SUSE LINUX GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany > GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, > HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) > GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 > > > __________________________________________________________________________ > OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) > Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
