Only if I was forced to ;-) Seriously, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. I wont change until it becomes necessary to do so. As the old saying goes: "Don't fix what ain't broke!" I've developed a workflow over the past decade or so, that I've optimized to fit my needs. Why would I want to change that? Unless there's something that changes that can make an impact on my efficiency. I've created a bunch of scripts that do exactly what I expect them to. To change, I'm going back into the world of the unknown, and will need to take up time (which I'm struggling to come up with), to learn something new that may or may not make it better for me. The tool I would like is simply something where all the patches I receive are stored in a nice formatted database that I can process offline somewhere (like when I'm flying to Europe). Right now I hacked an old version of patchwork (when I upgraded, everything broke, and I had to revert it), along with procmail, that creates a local patchwork queue I can access locally. Unfortunately, this doesn't work when I'm away from home without an internet connection. I would love to be able to take this database with me and process the patches while traveling without connectivity. -- Steve
