A few things. A) if you want to take over maintainance of a project, send an email to the list (or better, send an email to the current maintainer / author)
B) you could have tested and committed that patch in the time it took you to write that email. Just because e17 the window manager is in a pseudo-freeze doesn't mean that entrance is, and its much easier to commit the patch now, then string along the author for a few months while you clean up stuff... -- rephorm On Monday 07 November 2005 01:08, David Seikel wrote: > On Mon, 07 Nov 2005 14:42:23 +0800 Phuah Yee Keat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > One of the features that I missed from KDM is the preselect > > previously logged in user, I have added that support in Entrance cvs, > > here's the output that I get from cvs diff, please tell me additional > > things that are needed to get this committed. > > Until a few hours ago entrance was unmaintained.
