Pijul will be ready when it support the ability to email patches as a universal fallback method of submitting patches upstream for those that do not wish to create an account with a given service.
- hiccuphippo 3y agoIsn't the patch/diff format already universal? I mean the one you generate with diff [0] and apply with patch [1]. You don't need the vcs to generate it. [0] https://linux.die.net/man/1/diff https://linux.die.net/man/1/diff [1] https://linux.die.net/man/1/patch https://linux.die.net/man/1/patch
- toastal 3y agoThere’s some metadata that is lost unless the user explicitly provides it (username/email might not be the ones sent with the email & that could be an error or for security/privacy reasons). The tool can provide a format that makes it easier to record & handle conflicts as well as streamlining the process to get it to email. You’re not wrong tho that patch/diff can be good/enough for a lot of use cases.
