This doesn't negate Garance's excellent description of how PRs [don't] work for general purpose / non-maintainer submissions. The trouble is that (for me) reviewing takes just as long if not longer then doing the change myself for some cases. The submitter has already found the problem, understood the origin and set a path for fixing it. The committer has to do the same (plus actually review the code). I wish I knew enough about lpr to review Garance's patches, he obviously knows his stuff. While we're here, since LPRng hasn't made its way into the system for whatever reason, we should be taking a serious look at just giving him maintainership of lpr so he can apply his umpteen new features and bugfixes he has queued up. -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect, BOFH / Chimes, Inc. billf@chimesnet.com / billf@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
