5. *all* the impatient geda-users can apply the patches to their local
repository themselves, and have a test drive, without having to poke
sourceforge.

6. *all* impatient geda-devs can apply the patches to their local repository
themselves, and have a test drive, without having to poke sourceforge ;-)

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.


@Peter: I had a lovely holiday in Kent, will surely return next year ;-).

By email also has its advantages:

1. Email means the patches get seen and reviewed
2. Git sends the email for you - so no extra work for the sender
3. I can save the patches without having to poke sourceforge
4. I can save the patches without having to poke sourceforge

(If I agree to push some patches - send them privately to me).

Best wishes,

An alternative approach might be to use pcb itself. Most of the internals 
can already be triggered by actions. Some core editing operations like 
add-line, or add component are missing, though.

The contributing section on www.gedasymbols.org is a bit confusing.
It boils down to:
1) send an email to Dj Delorie and ask for an CVS account
2) download the contetns of gedasymbols.org with CVS
3) build your own page locally like described here
   http://www.gedasymbols.org/style.html
4) upload your changes to gedasymbols.org with CVS

I looked and I don't see a way of doing that sort of (non)filtering
with mailman.  I do recommend that people submit patches to the trackers
since 1) no munching and 2) ability to track them.
