Gentoo development can be slow at times. Heck, I've personally taken a few weeks off from Gentoo, which means anything incoming into my queue doesn't get done while I'm away. I wouldn't get worried about it until at least a month has gone by with no interest. It could very well be that the person/persons responsible for mysql haven't even looked at it yet, or they could be busy putting out other critical fires in mysql-land. The point is that you don't know what is going on with the developers, so you have to give an ample amount of time for your submission to be discovered, processed, and worked upon. > May be of interest all this stuff? if not why? > I've posted in a un-polite way, if so please say me I will try to not do > it again. > If is of some interest, is something I can do? about the code or not -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Operational/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
