/me has a dawning realization... Oh, you were using the Issue submission form!
I think the problem here is that more people pay attention to the mailing list than the Issue page. (At least, I first visited the issue page *today*, while trying to see which issues you posted. As you said, you filed an issue and mentioned that you had a fix for it...) So, an aside: normal etiquette when using bugzilla/etc. and you have a patch is to file the bug and the patch (which you did), and if you don't get a response after a reasonable period of time (~1 week or less) to ask on the mailing list, as there are often slackers like me who forget that bugzilla exists but do pay attention to the mailing list. (Though given the way things are going, we either need to hold more discussions on the mailing list, or better integrate the issues page into our process. I think it's obvious at this point that not enough people actually read the issues page. :-( So Yuniti, don't take it personally that we didn't respond at the issue page. The issue page currently seems to be a forgotten afterthought. :-( All that said, if you would like to contribute to DbLinq (as I'm sure you would), Pascal would be more than happy to add you as a committer to the project. All you need to do is ask. :-) Thanks, - Jon On Wed, 2009-05-13 at 08:14 -0300, Marcos Boyington wrote: > Hi Jonathan!
