I think it's unfortunate that it will be m ore difficult to tell which patches are signed off when looking at attachments in Bugzilla. 14:34:09 +1 14:34:24 oleonard: this probably is what thd means 14:34:28 https://wiki.koha-community.org/w/index.php?title=Tips_and_tricks&action=historysubmit&diff=19340&oldid=10188 14:34:35 yes, a partial signoff is the exception 14:34:36 is the sign off line not clear? 14:34:46 If we're running kohadevbox via vagrant, is there anything we need to do to for this signoff change? 14:35:19 kidclamp: I refer specifically to the list of attachments, not the comments section. 14:35:36 I'm not arguing against the change, I'm just complaining. 14:35:44 we could still do that, but it should be exceptional 14:35:46 I think if your devbox is current it already has the change - maybe chekc on your next signoff 14:35:49 What is the mechanism for working around oleonard's reservation? 14:36:04 manual add it in bugzilla ? 14:36:10 95% of the time, we want to SO on all the patchset 14:36:19 or more 14:36:19 maybe 94% 14:36:23 no 14:36:26 or 96% 14:36:27 96 14:36:29 ;) 14:36:46 thd: It requires a change in habits, that's all. 14:37:35 Has the instruction been changed to indicate the exception of partial signoff? 14:38:00 we should put it somewhere probably 14:38:01 sorry, have to leave 14:38:13 I think we should move on 14:38:20 kidclamp: i will look for a wiki page to put it 14:38:21 vote? 14:38:25 we already did 14:38:29 heh 14:38:38 not 'officially' 14:38:44 ok 14:38:47 We did but the question was not put in a formal form. 14:39:08 #vote Should we stop adding [SIGNED_OFF] labels when signing off patches 14:39:22 yes 14:39:23 +1 14:39:27 #startvote Should we stop adding [SIGNED_OFF] labels when signing off patches 14:39:27 Unable to parse vote topic and options. 14:39:32 #startvote Should we stop adding [SIGNED_OFF] labels when signing off patches? 14:39:32 Begin voting on: Should we stop adding [SIGNED_OFF] labels when signing off patches?
