Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Raghuram Devarakonda (draghuram) Assigned to: Facundo Batista (facundobatista) Summary: preferred diff format should be mentioned as "unified". Initial Comment: The page at http://www.python.org/dev/tools/ mentions that context diffs are preferred. However, the link at http://www.python.org/dev/patches/ mentions that "We like unified diffs. We grudgingly accept contextual diffs.". So "tools" page should preferably mention unified diffs as well. Thanks, Raghu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) Date: 2007-03-31 14:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80475 Originator: NO I don't think we really do care. Sometimes context diffs are easier to understand and sometimes unified diffs are the way to go depending on the patch. I say, let the world do what the world will do. No unnecessary rules. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1623153&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
