[...] distributed development: Our contributors just add their git format-patch to our patch-tracking bot hacchi, we’ll review the patch and if it meets our quality standards, we can just apply it locally [...]

and of course if there are any merges necessary, you should consider rebuilding the relevant package(s) to check that the merged result still works.

Also, you probably want to do something like

(sudo) cave sync [reponame]
git rebase origin

before that. This moves your patch(es) to the head if they aren’t already, which (a) means the above command will pick up the latest patch of yours, not someone else’s, and more importantly (b) forces any necessary merges to be performed.

As I’ve just learned, you should NOT copy and paste patches by hand into a pastebin, as that may introduce whitespace errors which may prevent the patch from applying.

Instead use something like this (adjusting the command as necessary to select the patch you want to paste):

git format-patch –stdout -M -C HEAD^..HEAD |wgetpaste -v -X -r

Omit the -X option if you don’t have / don’t want to use xclip to copy the URL to the X primary selection.

Another app is Networklocation (http://networklocationapp.com/).

It is 29 dollars, yet I use it to replace my trusted MarcoPolo that worked so nice up until Snow Leopard :-(

[...] LG3D and Java apps should be working as normal again! To TWM devs: please help promote wmname for new users, until Sun decide that they want to fix this themselves [...]

Thanks a lot for the hint!

I already gave MarcoPolo a spin (I should have mentioned it) but there is an issue with Snow Leopard: The WiFi evidence source does not work and unfortunately the WiFi is the only clear indicator of my location.

You should have a look at: http://www.symonds.id.au/marcopolo/

I believe it can be setup to do what you need.
