I agree with Geoff Wing, a description is more sensible, since source changes
often have (or should have!) associated documentation changes, at least.
I'd like the archive to be semi-automatically appliable, so I'd like to be
able to grab the most recent zsh from the archive, grab all the patches
(filtering on the version number), and run a zsh script to apply them all. So
as a start, I'd suggest that all patches ought to be taken at the top source
level (so I'd do "cd zsh-3.1.2; patch -p0 < ..."), and that mails would
contain either the actual patch, or a gzipped/compressed patch, but not tarred
stuff, because that's more fiddly to process.
I must admit, I'd prefer just a patched version to be made available, say once
a week or something. Does anybody keep a zsh suitably patched?
My reason is that normally I haven't been patching zsh, but just recently
there have been a couple of useful patches that I wanted, so I was forced to
try to get up to date enough to apply them, and it wasn't trivial! In fact, I
eventually couldn't apply them cleanly, but I got what I wanted and still have
a working zsh.
