I'm concerned; that doesn't sound like a good process to develop a patch. Normally backporting a patch is a matter of finding N applicable revisions and merging them... but it sounds that here you're re-developing the feature from scratch. If it won't compile on windows, for example, I'd be concerned that you introduced run-time bugs on unix. > > -- > [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature > [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature > ls: .signature: No such file or directory > [neil@fnx ~]# exit
