Buuuuuuuuuut, that's still more effort than I'd be comfortable imposing on a new contributor, honestly. Guess why the kernel community keeps pushing away drive-bys?
- voltagex_ 10y agoThe Eudyptula Challenge was my first exposure to git-send-email. My first email was rejected due to the attachment being base64 encoded, I think. This is how I know setting up Mutt with GMail is fairly painful. I kinda get why LKML pushes away drive by contributions - if the quality of the patch is low it can cause problems for maintainers and subsystem maintainers. The kernel has stuff like checkpatch.pl to help though. If you're contributing to the kernel you should probably be able to run a Perl script.

This is code which will run on every Linux device out there, from thermostats to WiFi access points to individual computers to Google's & Facebook's data centres: it had better come from someone who knows his stuff, inside & out, and it's probably a Good Thing™ if he's not afraid of a command line and email.
