I will - as soon as the replacement for USERCONFIG is finished by the person who drove a wooden stake through its hearth (God bless him!). Get the irony ? Let me spell it out: When peter breaks things it's ok, when I clean up after him it is reason for war. Didn't somebody say that a patch had already been submitted against savecore to fix these things ? Why havn't anybody committed that patch then ? This is blown completely out of proportion by now. And for reasons I have yet to fathom, Peter suddenly drags a completely unrelated patch (MII) into the picture, and rather than do the sensible thing (ie: test the patch or reply to my email where I answered his questions) he goes "That makes me feel really warm and cozy" with absolutely no facts or technical backing. If Peter or anybody else has any concerns about the patch, then please SAY what these concerns are, or optionally: test the patch and see for yourself if your concerns are founded or unfounded. If I weren't in such a good mood, I would claim that this entire thing is because some of the usual suspects once again focus on beating up me rather than getting actual work done (This accusation doesn't apply to Terry, of course since he is exempt from doing any work). But I am in a good mood so I wont. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
