Recently I spent several days figuring out why Nautilus was not displaying file details on files >2GB. I bugged nautilus folks as well as gnome-vfs folks, learned some stuff did some debugging and fixed the problem.
I sent a patch to the cooker list and fcrozat for that problem. I also just recently identified, and sent a detailed bug report to both the cooker list and chmouel regarding xinetd. We are now in beta 2 and I have not heard a word about the nautilus/gnome-vfs bugreport (complete with a fix!) or the xinetd bug report I sent, nor have I seen fixed packages for either. Am I wasting my time here? Have I been dropped into some killfiles for some reason or another? I certainly could have used that few days I spent debugging and providing a fix for gnome-vfs if I had known my contributions here were going to go without notice. I am not looking for a pat on the back here or anything, just that the time I spend making contributions here actually making it into the product. Comment please? Maybe it's time to go checkout Debian. I hear they have a good "community" development system going there. ~sigh~ b. -- Brian J. Murrell
