So far Ive been sending the complete thing. If a patch is preferred I can switch to sending patches, but as you said, its personal preference of the developer handling the 'bug'. Given that the bugs are assigned to different developers I have no way of knowing if the developer who gets my bug prefers diffs or complete new updated ebuild files. I would think a developer finds the difference between the updated ebuild and the current version almost immediately. That's what a patch is. True, though. Who knows what others do. -- Matthew Kennedy Gentoo Linux Developer
