If you have a patch prepared that applies against the head of the tree, and= on=20 top of that if it's build and runtime tested in production, that at least m= ean=20 you've done everything that can be reasonably expected. Who knows, you may be in luck that someone who's interested might read hack= ers@=20 too. :) Yours, Daniel Ebdrup Jensen --rids5i3gvpfrnise Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGTBAABCgB9FiEEDonNJPbg/JLIMoS6Ps5hSHzN87oFAl7Vd7BfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDBF ODlDRDI0RjZFMEZDOTJDODMyODRCQTNFQ0U2MTQ4N0NDREYzQkEACgkQPs5hSHzN 87qltAgAo2inpOy7g2lat0Mq5ZngXbllwas692HL49upgsOK56zFsqhaOnaKlWXn R84cxb+2IdfQ796rvj38fwOjsprcsfpwDxMxtbsqWnB9llXAJaHAITgDJrH0kEsH dyaCIjkidtFTM/If59+vkUfAn/4OwEcumE5Eov5ofTdD2WwHaj3C1yOxVxUn1YMX JIqVnVmhvDWc1eXwhmL6UIYhmFFG4lcUE7QYSnsv+7FFkXc+8H+TRO1rCohYsEcd Ff2RFlbchLVX1Cc0dch3zaWW4rGAkANrzkYraArUVxXmf+uXT3bYFyXdpZYkgyP7 bQ0ZozxNZTZTtw8z3F1WIuRJfz+8cg== =SwI9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --rids5i3gvpfrnise--
