If you want, send it to me, I will test & commit it on Friday. OTOH, I would be _extremely_ surprised, if you wanted to get committer privileges, if it wasn't granted real quickly. All you need is to have some vague idea that maybe cvs might be a useful tool (you don't have to even know it, just be willing to learn it quickly). Stuff like that is usually withheld for a few introductory months, whilst the new person gets used to things. I don't know you myself, but (from what you've written already) I get the idea that could be short-circuited. If you want those privileges, tell me (or tell the list). I am not core team, I would forward that request to Satoshi or Jordan. I _can_ do your commit, tho. > > -John Heidemann > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
