Let me ask a naive question and, please, when you read this, realize that I
am not in the slightest bit being facetious.  Also, I'm jumping into the
middle of this thread.

Why not take a snapshot and put in a fix for yourself?  Post the fix to the
group and if it fits into Thomas' refactoring plan, it will be put in.  If
not, then at least you get the turn around for a fix that your project
needs.  Isn't that what OpenSource is about?


Regards,
Alan

Thanks, Bruce. It does, at least for now. You might have seen the "Plea for
info ..."
thread on castor-dev, where me and two colleagues of mine are trying to
establish whether
major bugs (or "change requests", as Thomas calls them) will get resolved in
the near
future (based on messages found in the archives about 8 months ago).

I guess we are just afraid that we will have to abandon Castor as one of our
tools to use
as our expectations towards bug resolution(s) have not been met. Now I know
that Castor
is open-source, but Thomas has made it very clear that he doesn't appreciate
more
developers due to ongoing refactoring.

It's just a bit of a dilemma we are facing here, and we are trying to find a
way to

a) help you fixing this one particular problem.
b) help you identifying the problem (but it seems like Thomas exactly knows
what the
problem is anyway)
c) get an idea what the problem really is (whether it's just a problem with
the OQL Query
builder)
d) etc.

Thanks
Werner
