• [Wiki] GitPackaging - Workflow guidelines

    From Brian Thompson@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 6 05:10:01 2021
    Hi,

    I was reading through the workflow guidelines on the GitPackaging wiki
    page (https://wiki.debian.org/GitPackaging), and I have some comments on
    what I think can be improved.

    One change per commit.

    What does "one change" entail, a file being changed, a bug being fixed,
    a collection of unrelated changes in a single file? This is unclear.

    The commit message should have a short (<78 characters) summary of the
    change followed by a newline.

    The <78 character constraint is out-of-line with Git standards. Git
    suggests a hard stop at 72 characters for the subject, with a soft recommendation to keep it <=50 chars.

    Also, the text should read "followed by a blank newline", instead of
    just "followed by a newline". Having a blank link separating the body
    and subject is much cleaner. Maybe it was just a typo.

    Lastly, lines of the body should be wrapped at 72 characters. This is
    very easy to configure in a text editor, like vim.
