I always assumed that was for "big freebsd architectural changes", as opposed to changes to a "little program" like lpr. I'll follow it for awhile and get a better feeling for it. I would like to find whichever people are particularly interested in lpr/lpd changes, without distracting those people who really don't care much about printing at all. >Finished patches are best sent via send-pr(1) where they >will eventually be addressed (although the response-time >for send-pr(1) is regrettably long...) I have already noticed that send-pr patches are sometimes committed almost instantly, and other times it's like pulling teeth to get some attention for them... --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
