Sorry ...

1) I don't use git! ... I do not have any machine with an installed git
and I do not like to install git. I worked and work with 5 other version
control systems (commercial products, not open source one). I do just
not want to have and to learn another one ... that's my decision, at
least currently ... if you say using git is absolutely required to
contribute to busybox development, than I have to stop contribution
completely ... no way out :-(

... normally I do just wait and grab the newest nightly snapshot ... but ...

2) Currently I'm not working on my or any full development system. My
development machine has a bug anywhere in the libraries due to an
incomplete and broken gentoo update ... needs complete reinstall, but
missing time for this at the moment. Additionally the machine I'm
working on is stuck to a release tar ball (currently 1.17.2), I can't
install daily snapshots, because there are about 40 special
modifications, which have to be reinstalled into busybox each time a new
version is installed ... which means manual action most time, because of
heavily changing things in busybox ... and again I do not have the time
to do that.

My intension was, to forward any issue I stumbled about my current work
with the system and busybox, to not lose all those issues again (fixes,
not feature additions) ... and to probably have them included/fixed in
the next release, so I do not need to add it again. If you do not like
that, I can't currently not note/remember them all otherwise and work on
them later on ... some bigger issues have I already put on a personal TODO.

Sorry I'm currently stuck in that situation ... but I'm working on it to
get off that ... needs only time ... and a fully working
extended/modified busybox, because the systems rescue, emergency,
maintenance and startup/shutdown and shell scripting functionally is
heavily based on busybox. ... but light is starting to shine ... at this
moment the machine passed the last update/modification check and started
successfully ... huhhhh ... so it looks I can begin the next step ...

Denys ... this is just I'm a bit to much in a hurry and clicked on the
wrong entry or didn't note, that thunderbird sometimes choose the wrong
sender address (multiple personality on same account) ... I'm really
trying to avoid this, as the message comes back and I have to send it
again with a different sender. I didn't know that this error messages
are forwarded to you too ... sorry for this ... shouldn't happen ... I'm
promising to double check the sender address when ever possible
(sometimes thunderbird does something mysterious at this, happens sins
last update, wasn't before this).

I know. That message wasn't for you, don't know how it got to you ...

it ... should normaly not happen, definitely!
