Thanks for your contribution, I've applied your patch. However, I would
like to recommend a few improvements for your future contributions, if
possible:
- No need to enclose the package name between < and > in the commit
title, i.e just "package: description" is enough.
- When sending new iterations, please change the patch subject prefix
to PATCH v2, PATCH v3, etc. You can do that with "git format-patch
-v2" or git format-patch --subject-prefix="PATCH v2"
- Also when sending new iterations, adding a changelog below the "---"
sign is very nice, because it allows the people reviewing your patch
understand what has changed.
- Finally, the commit log description should be wrapped to 72
characters.
But again: I applied your patch after doing minor fixes in the commit
title and commit log, so those recommendations are valid for your
future contributions only :-)
Thanks!
Thomas
