From 4592e9f5c16110bee7f6d020abda5240532ca127 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Samuel Tardieu Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2024 19:07:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?README.md:=20mention=20that=20=E2=86=92=20can?= =?UTF-8?q?=20be=20used=20to=20signal=20version=20upgrades?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Almost 1% of contributions in nixpkgs already use the unicode "→" character instead of the two "->" ASCII characters to signal a version upgrade. The guide only mentions "->", which sometimes triggers discussions about the acceptable characters to use in commit messages, with often a reference to the current README.md. Some people prefer to use "→" because, depending on the font, it might have a more appealing visual aspect than "->" and look better aligned. Some others prefer to only write using the ASCII character set and will use "->", but nowadays everyone can display common unicode characters such as "→". Let us make everyone happy by indicating that both kind of arrows are acceptable. --- pkgs/README.md | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/pkgs/README.md b/pkgs/README.md index 1e565f1b587b..052120faa089 100644 --- a/pkgs/README.md +++ b/pkgs/README.md @@ -132,6 +132,8 @@ Now that this is out of the way.
