Well Rodney, aside from that David is getting there slowly, there are a few other things: - There exists something called tagging a source tree which enables a person to actually tag specific revisions of files so that that could be used for the 3.4-R release. Not the most ideal of circumstances because it requires that the one tagging the tree actually has to think. - at least he _is_ trying to get people out of MAKEDEV problems. - some people actually LOOK at patches and test it before they start yelling. - Your comment was as constructive as a broken brick or quicksand, whatever you prefer more. And judging overall, the only thing I have seen from you in the last year is nothing more but a constant stream of whining without actually contributing something positive back to solve the problem at hand, save `back this out now'. I may be stepping across some imagined or virtual line others see which I don't by stating the above, but that's how I see it. Of course, you don't have to care about it. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl] Documentation nutter. *BSD: Technical excellence at its best...
