I see no reason to bring pcnet into discussion. I am in no way related to them. dont take as offence, i just reminded my old times ... ok, lets dont imply parties.

Well is see no reason to not approve. :-(. I hope my and your main intention (you taked the sponsorship) is to push forward this compiler not to sentence it to dead, i see no reason why not. I am sure reviewing it we can find an acceptable way reasoning the usefullnes of this package, i allready see the usefullness of it. If geda was approved, but compared with comercial packs is realy,really baby, i think iverilog is quite usable for small projects, and some experts can adapt even for huge ones. Every things must start somewhere, gnu gcc booted with baby shoes and now can outperform many comercial compilers, its a question of time and interest of parties. ok, i wait for your tests, util than i try to came up with the test-suite pack. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
