- update: For submitting non-maintainer updates/changes
- maintainer-update: For submitting maintainer updates/changes
The intent is to make it easier to spot maintainer sactioned or submitted
updates to ports though it might also be useful for userland code that is
maintained by someone that is not a FreeBSD committer.
Submitted by: nbm and many others
specific changes into the original distribution (although sometimes
with a slightly different approach) and to add two commandline
options to send-pr(1):
-c which allows you to specify an address to CC this
PR to
-s allow the severity to be specified on the commandline

branch. Although this problem has been reported to the GNU folks,
it's unlikely that any solution they may come up with will involve
the use of mktemp(1).

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
. remove the blubber about `submitter-id's from the man page, we don't
use them,
. use REPLY_TO or REPLYTO in preference over LOGNAME as the value for
the Reply-To address (closes PRs 1471 and its duplicates 1472 and 1823),
. don't abuse ~/.signature as ORGANIZATION, this is almost always
useless blunder,
. actually list the Categories again, instead of xrefing to ``see
above'' (closes PR 1835),
. check the Synopsis field for being not empty,
. make the mail Subject the same as Synopsis if left blank (closes
PR 1209).
The remaining open send-pr related PRs (184 and its duplicate 1047,
and 1415) are pilot errors or local hardware problems.
