Hi Michael, There is no race here, so when you start is when you start. However, just letting you know that it got accepted so the improvements should be located in the CVS now. I would recommend grabbing the latest copy from the CVS just in case Kevin hammered in a couple extra fixes. http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/aspell/aspell/auto/?only_with_tag=rel_0_60-branch ...you may still refer back in the sourceforge posting such as what is ????, so if you have an idea of what to fill in for ????, then great! I forgot to mention it earlier, but if your editor can visually display TABs, it helped a little in getting rid of the embedded TABs. I think I got most if not all of them... just consider it a just-in-case. If your editor doesn't show them, don't worry about it since it is your motivation that is important, and not which brand of editor you use. Just before you post your suggested fix(es), it would be wise to check the CVS or take another quick glance at sourceforge once again to make sure nobody posted something while you were busy working on the copy you have now. Just supposing there was a later copy on sourceforge, or even in these mailing lists, it may be best to use whichever latest copy you find. These coincidences may happen on a busy project such as the kernel or mozilla where you may have many developers dedicated, or not, working on those projects at the same time, but it is unlikely to happen in Aspell since you are dealing with 1 main developer (Kevin), and the occasional contributor (the rest of us) when speaking of the programming side. The word lists is another story. The frequency of something like that happening in reality is very very low but I'm posting this "just in case" so that you submit the latest patch. An additional reason to mention all that is because there is some occasionally confusion on these mailing lists of people thinking there may be an army of developers working on Aspell. There isn't. So if you can help, great! Most of what I mentioned here is probably already obvious to you, however, there may be several readers on the list (or even on the web) who wish to help in some way, but don't really know what to do or where to look without feeling like they may be doing something wrong. Hopefully some of these suggestions may help them. Due to the recent change of 1st suggesting to you to look on souceforge but now suggesting to look at CVS instead, this seemed a good place to suggest all this info. Hopefully this helps. _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list Aspell-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
