Hi Denys! > Please fetch current git: > That's how everyone else does development in open source world: > they send patches, and they base them on current development branch, > not on some released tarball. 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 ... > > If this is a cryptic way to say ... 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). > "hey, I am receiving this > message, did I get unsubscribed?", then the answer is "no, > at least I did not unsubscribe you". I know. That message wasn't for you, don't know how it got to you ... and I don't want to tell you anything with this ... please just ignore it ... should normaly not happen, definitely! -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
