I think you misunderstood what he meant. Misc/NEWS is documentation. I believe he meant he won't fix typos in NEWS due to the make pain involved. I'm the same way. I want nothing to do with news when making my changes because it ALWAYS gets in the way for any change not being done on head/default/tip only. If anything I prefer to leave news entries out of the commit they are related to to avoid news merges going wrong from messing up the real change. Hopefully I remember to write a news entry for it after the fact. > > Regards > > Antoine. > > > _______________________________________________ > python-committers mailing list > python-committers@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
