From b650dcabf1cd1aa596228e1e7eff4acf372ef6a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Rapha=C3=ABl=20M=C3=A9lotte?= Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2023 15:58:03 +0200 Subject: doc: suggest using pre-inst-env for git-send-email on foreign distros MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On foreign distros, not using pre-inst-env when using git-send-email results in a backtrace ending with: no code for module (guix ui) This can be confusing as users did not have to use pre-inst-env to use git-send-email before. * doc/contributing.texi (Sending a Patch Series): add a note to suggest using pre-inst-env when calling git-send-email on foreign distros.
