Xen devel - Mar 2005 - Perferred way for Patch Submission (inline or attchment)?

I''m wondering do you guys prefer we submit patches as attachments or
inline them in the email? Inline in emails have become the standard
everywhere else, what is the preferred way you guys would like patches
submitted to the list.... inline or attachments?

Inline in emails is probably best, but I personally don''t have a strong
opinion. We just use the bktools package to extract them.

I haven''t found a good way of keeping any per-file comments with the
files, but I think Christian has some magic script that''s able to
extract and check these in too.

I like to post patches as links because the patches can be very large
and I like to know how many people are looking at them.  For example
I''ve had 13 accesses to my recent ptrace patch. Granted, its not a /.,
but it does tell me that people are actually using or thinking about
using the domu_debug code.

Is this OK going forward?
