I'm cc'ing darcs-devel on this, so Tommy and Juliusz will see it...

That was completely correct. The patches went to the darcs-devel mailing list, where they'll be reviewed by the darcs maintainers, Juliusz and Tommy (currently not me), who will decide whether to apply them. I'm not sure if you're subscribed to darcs-devel, but that'll help. > Furthermore, both patches are very important for me (in order to use > Darcs at work in a windows environment).

Tommy manages the darcs-stable branch, which means he's in charge of making stable releases. I believe he's working up towards one right now. Normally we want patches to first go into the darcs-unstable branch before migrating (after testing) to darcs-stable. But your patches seem isolated enough to me that we could perhaps fast-track them. When you've got patches that are important to you, sending an explanation of why they should go in quickly to the darcs-devel list can expedite the process. Sometimes the maintainer (or myself) won't be able to see why a particular change is important (although your patch is pretty clear). Another thing that helps is if other developers speak up and say they'd like to see the patches go in. It's easy as maintainers to get snowed in with all the email and patches and let one fall through the cracks. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
