There's no mention of veto there, just a temporary measure pending resolution. Of course, if you had stuck to rule (1), about which you did not comment, it wouldn't have been necessary. > Lacking your permission I left out the changes to vinum and put them > on my web page instead and pointed people there until you had time. I suppose we really have one rule missing in the committers rules. I'm sure few people would disagree with it, and I'm sure it's missing because Jordan thought it was obvious: 0. Don't deliberately break anything. >> 10. Test your changes before committing them. > > There are no test-scripts or test-instructions for vinum. No, it shouldn't be necessary. I did the testing myself. I also pointed out in private mail that you could do quite a bit of testing without scripts (for example, to check whether you can write with Vinum, try creating a file). > I have asked for these several times I have already offered you access to what I have, which is in terrible condition. > offering to add error-simulation code to the md driver in return > ("quid pro quid"). A man page for md would be a whole lot more useful. I still don't have it running.
