https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269810 --- Comment #8 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@freebsd.org> --- Back closer to topic, in an effort to avoid confusion: removal of <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/pull/117> from the See Also field of this bug report was not specific to this report. This one removal was, naturally, consequent to a broader request for (indiscriminate) closure of all my PRs in that area. ---- Back on topic, for readers who may be unfamiliar with features of GitHub: .diff and .patch files do remain available, as shown below (their URLs are disallowed for See Also purposes). <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/pull/117.diff> <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/pull/117.patch> ---- Looking ahead, more generally: Bugmeister might like to advise whether it's appropriate to have the 'needs-patch' keyword in situations such as this, where a patch file is available but not directly attached. Reports with no non-obsolete patch attached can _not_ be found by queries such as this: <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd=all%20open%20reports%20with%20a%20non-obsolete%20patch%2C%20by%20assignee> > all open reports with a non-obsolete patch, by assignee For readers to _not_ misconstrue needs-patch as no-patch, my instinct is to misuse the deprecated 'patch' keyword ;-) Yep, the one that I long ago batch-applied before the deprecated keyword was marked as such. Oops. Of course, I'll not apply it :-) This discussion can continue in private. No rush. Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
