My recommendation would be to maintain a "mob" branch. This is a publicly-writable branch from which other devs can cherry-pick commits. This would come in handy for the occasional currency updates, too. And, sometimes, there are good patches that hang out in bugzilla for too long - just because they don't have much visibility. -chris _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
