Unpolite is okay. In the worst case we all know how to use delete key. Trying to be nice is good, but trying to get bugs fixed is also important, maybe more important than politeness. For busybox ash, I prioritize bugs as follows, least to most: * missing feature implemented in bash (but not in POSIX) * missing feature required by POSIX * difference in behavior re bash, but still allowed by POSIX * difference in behavior re POSIX (I'd classify this as bug) * bug which is present in other flavors of ash/dash * bug which does not exist in other flavors of ash/dash How to get it fixed (you have to go to next level if current didnt work): * yell on bbox ml/bugzilla * yell on other ash/dash ml/bugzilla too * yell again * investigate yourself in the source, cook patch and send to ml * send patch again * bitch a lot about lazy maintainers which dont review working patches -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
