- There is also netcat (nc) and i'm in doubt what is more widespread in basic system installation: netcat or socat.
It is not about what is most spread, but what actually makes sense.
netcat in comparison is messy - https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/1/243
- It's better to use `git format-patch' and attach generated files (see "man git-format-patch", it's really easy).
I did use git format-patch (by way of git send-email), see the X-Mailer header. What generated file should be attached? Remember also that (a) attachments are frowned upon and (b) I hear git-am is very pesky in processing mails not in the format of {verbatim format-patch text}.
I have two personal preferences on this:
o git format-patch HEAD~N -> creates a series of patch files o attach the single patch files to a mail
o create a public git repos with a branch containing your patches (master branch should be a copy of our master) o send me a pull request by mail
On sending mails with patches...
Most convenient for me it will be to send patches to the X2Go BTS (bug
tracker system).
Mail Template...
""" From: <you> To: submit@bugs.x2go.org Subject: <describe your patch>

"""
Attach the patch file(s) to this mail.
Greets, Mike
