Then why don't you replace the "feature" with a better implementation and add it to that patch of yours? > I get the impression that none of the Evolution developers have even > tried my patch, no one around here seems to care about performance.

And that very recently the role of maintainer has switched to Harish. Please give him a chance. Perhaps he just forgot about the patch or overlooked it? Perhaps are performance issues less the focus-of-development at this moment? I wouldn't say that a patch that didn't get approval is (always) because of political reasoning. -- Philip Van Hoof, Software Developer @ Cronos home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org work: philip dot vanhoof at cronos dot be junk: philip dot vanhoof at gmail dot com http://www.pvanhoof.be/ _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
