Hi all,
I've noticed that the GNU Standards indicate [] should be used for
conditional changes, and <> should be used for identifying the part that
changed. However, in Guix, I've noticed that people tend to use [] not
to indicate conditional changes, but rather to indicate the part that
changed. Is there a reason for this? Does it matter?
Relevant sections in the GNU Standards are:
(standards) Conditional Changes
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Conditional-Changes.html#Conditional-Changes
(standards) Indicating the Part Changed
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Indicating-the-Part-Changed.html#Indicating-the-Part-Changed
Thank you,
--
Chris
