Did a searchback for his mail. The patch was for Esetroot, and was supposed to fix a perceivedly unintuitive behavior in flipping or something like that. So that's probably in Kim's domain, but I know he has been very busy with E16 over the past couple of months so I'm not surprised if a small patch ended up unnoticed. Personally I don't think there's any harm trying to call attention to a submitted patch if it hasn't been replied to. I remember committing someone's Entrance patch some time ago and forgetting to let them know that it was done already, until the person complained months later. > -- > http://www.azundris.com/ -- Ibukun Olumuyiwa http://xcomputerman.com "Beware the lightning that lurketh in an undischarged capacitor, lest it cause thee to be bounced upon thy buttocks in a most ungentlemanly manner." -- The Ten Commandments of Electronics, Author Unknown ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by Dice.com.
