Could you please submit "git diff" or "git format-patch" patches? I am honestly not sure how to process this file...

(In reply to Guangyuan Yang from comment #1) It's a basic "patch" file - the same format that has been used for at least the 15 years I've been maintaining ports. cd /usr/ports/multimedia/get_iplayer && patch < file Has this changed now? I hate git. If developers prefer it, then who am I to argue? They use it everyday, so what works best for them is none of my business. But if we are required do use git for basic ports maintenance (especially when we don't have direct commit access) then please remove my maintainership of the port. Thanks
(In reply to Neel Chauhan) Cheers!
(In reply to Guangyuan Yang from comment #1) Please delete/ignore my previous rant.

Done!

Thanks Neel!
(In reply to Jamie Landeg-Jones from comment #3) > Has this changed now? No, it hasn't. We gladly accept any patches in any consumable format. It is our responsibility as developers to know how to handle all of them. Being honestly not sure how to process a simple patch is preposterous. > I hate git. Me too. > If developers prefer it, then who am I to argue? Some of us don't, but it had been forced upon us. :( > But if we are required do use git for basic ports maintenance No, port maintainers are not required to use git. It's up to them how to keep their ports tree updated.
