I understand why it could be convenient to see. If I'm looking at my email on a phone, I don't personally care to have my data plan eaten by such messages. It's a text based email list, we don't post binaries here for just the reason of bandwidth.I suggest that a link to the text list would have been more effective. >> It's been useful for legibility, even it's no longer recommended.

That is sound reasoning. Consistency of formatting has its point, just as consistent whitespace use its point, as well. Is it worth all the changes in all he spec files? >> Also, it's not trivia to tell people "oh, my script is pretty safe, >> but you should please check many thousands of packages for me!!!"

In this case, I think it was a level of justified snide. It's a dangerous approach that I'd like to discourage. Post the code, especially since the original link to the code mentioned in the first message is likely to lose its provenance as the project goes on. Post the current, in-use version of the code. > Peace, Jonny Peace is good. I'd feel more peaceful if the final version of the code being used is posted or linked to, to help ensure its provenance for something touching so many files.
