Xen project Mailing List

Lars,

I am glad you pointed my weakness. I will improve it step by step. I am going to fly back to school, so the next patch may be slow.

Thanks

Ray,

thanks for the patch: sorry for being picky.
Looking forward to v3

The commit message should say something like:
"Documented that UK_LIBS is not needed unless an external library is used"

Explanation: Put yourself into the shoes of someone who reads the git comment in 3 years.
That person only needs to know the ghist of the change. So try to be short and concise.
The same applies to comments in code in general.

Testing is expected, so stating that you did it distracts.

Thanks for adding the version bit

Personally I prefer following a pattern such as <Verb past tense><what you did><and why, if applicable>
E.g.
* Fixed error in v1
* Tested documentation by building and running the HelloWorld app

Explanation: This makes change logs much easier to read
Remember: some maintainers spend several hours reading other peoples patches

Typo: "Noted that" => "Note that"
Grammar: "edit ``UK_LIBS`` variable" => edit the ``UK_LIBS`` variable
You need to add a space between: "libraries.For"

Also you may want to add a line break: Lines should be less than 80 characters in length.
Explanation: That is because some people use vim, emacs, etc.

OK
