Re: [gentoo-dev] ebuild question

[Todd Berman <tberman@gentoo.org>]

Not to generate useless traffic, but I feel it is very important to
reiterate this.

Please, please, please attach your ebuilds to bugzilla as text/plain and
as single files. Two common errors I have seen plenty are attaching a
.tar.gz or .tar.bz2, or, and more of a problem for me, are the text
files attached, but set as an octet stream so the viewer wont kick in.

This cant be stressed enough as the 'proper' way to submit an ebuild if
you want to see it committed as fast as possible.

And as an aside, maybe zhen or whoever maintains bugs.g.o can set
text/plain as the default file upload, because i assume plenty of people
just forget to change it.
