* The problem is that FreeBSD people are not sending patches back to authors. * This has been the case at least with ssh, pppd and djpeg. As this is only * with the authors I happened to discuss with for some other reason, I think * the problem is worse than just a couple of programs. * * I would propose that ports would not be committed at all before the patches * have been sent to authors. If it is optional, people are too lazy to do * the sub-5-minute job to check out the authors address from docs and mail * the patch file. If the author decides not to accept the patches, it is * authors problem, then, but at least you tried. Please lead by example. Satoshi
