Nicer would be "lowest common nominator" but "stone age" describe the process of sending patches via BTS very well. Upps, sorry, not only the process, but the BTS also. We have git, we have salsa, it seems to me that using merge requests is common sense and should not need any mention. Otherwise - if one is happy to send patches via BTS - why not, as long one don't bother me with. And this it a two way thing - i will not bother other people with patches via BTS (nicer for: if not in salsa, gitlab or github, no contribution, no patch) Cheers Alf -- Alf Gaida BDBF C688 EFAD BA89 5A9F 464B CD28 0A0B 4D72 827C
