Sorry, about that but I was starting to loose things with all the gigantic ... thread. I wanted to be able to see some things happen, from the long thread and felt that having the CC list as long as it was was not assisting in getting a resolution.
- the command complaining that my use of it is deprecated. In retrospect, we probably should have done this.This is arguable. People would have get annoying messages thrown into their mailbox from their cron jobs, even before the switchover happened, which effectively means that we move the whining period from now back to the beginning of the deprecation period -- it won't reduce the amount of actual whining.
I prefered the way it was done. I would have hated the messages in my cron jobs. Some of my cronjobs have everything going to /dev/null When I am unable to convice the project to eliminate things like the above, I am forced to /dev/null them to be able to use them in a way that is not to annoying for me. I really liked the way things were done with the exception of maybe a bit better communication. But there will always be whiners. Just want an other way to emphazise that things are going to change. Maybe it will stop a few.
Thanks again for the good work done by all in the community. -- Boyd Gerber <gerberb@xxxxxxxxx> ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
