Someone, write a script that automatically files incoming patches to c-r-d as mantis patch items. git send-mantis sounds good as well. ;) But yeah, as it is in the project, patches sent to mailing list are in danger of being buried forever unless attended to immediately, whereas in the tracker, while they might end up rotting in there, at least they're easily recallable, and their status is tracked (if they were applied or not). --Eino ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
