Any idea when we could see a commit? Do you need anything from us ahead of time? A quick caveat is that the various versions don't play nice with one another in my experience so a 'CONFLICTS_WITH' is mandatory. Let us know if there's anything that we can do to help things along. -steve On Thu, Nov 10, 2005 at 12:06:16AM +0100, Koop Mast wrote: > On Wed, 2005-11-09 at 11:03 -0500, Steve Ames wrote: > > Joerg Pulz wrote: > > > > > > now that there are three months almost gone without any further noise > > > about this, i would like to ask about the current status. > > > Is there any progress or are there any news? > > Yes, there is some news (even if its a bit old).
