Re: [Bug-librejs] Making changes to the Savannah repo

[bill-auger]

i dont really intend to argue for either workflow being better or worse
- but mainly to point out for practical reasons that for the majority of
potential new contributors (especially those younger than 30) will never
accept the patch-centric workflow and they simply will not contribute to
GNU projects which is a loss for everyone

certainly handling all changes manually has it's merits but on the other
hand, there is nothing preventing a maintainer from converting a merge
request into a patch themselves that they could patch by hand if they
wished to and then commit back to git

in fact - now that i just looked a bit closer it appears that libreJS is
ALREADY using github for precisely this purpose


https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/librejs.git/commit/?id=a1be2ee58c0f35e2434e073d1424b27c1ac82230

    https://github.com/nikolas/LibreJS/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed

now that ive noticed that - i suggest to Nathan that you could also fork
that github repo and send a PR via github if you are more comfortable
working that way - and perhaps nikolas will respond on github and accept
your contributions that way
