That's unfortunate. That was an easy way to keep myself informed about the evolutions of the code or the fixes that are in the pipeline without looking to the web. Reading everyones comments (even nit-picking ones) is always interesting, and I myself use this to increase my ruby knowledge or my understanding of puppet internals. Reading the patches on github is not as good as on this list: * I'd read them once they've been approved/merged, losing track of the evolutions. * I'd have to browse github regularly, instead of just reading the mails in the course of the day. * I'd miss the review comments, usually of high value, giving more insights on internals. Would it be possible to setup another list (less visible) for such mails? Of course I understand that you devs sitting in the same office are spending quite some time here when the communication could be much more direct :) My 0.02EUR, -- Brice Figureau My Blog: http://www.masterzen.fr/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
