Exactly. That's the essence of opensource development: Working together, instead of just taking someone else's work. BTW: everyone here should know that maintaining own branches (this actually happens if you have your own patches not fed back to upstream) is an quite work intensive and sometimes complex task. I doubt anyone here's really eager on doing that ;-P I understand that not everyone can talk with every project's upstream. Simply too much load. And not every project wants to merge in your patches asap (think of how long it took until expat team took in my really trivial $DESTDIR patch ;-o). That's why I founded the OSS-QM project: it a kind of "overlay" which provides fixes for a lot of packages in a strictly normalized namespace (so 100% automatic applying is easy). http://oss-qm.metux.de/ So, eg. if you've made some local changes, please at least feed them to us :) cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
