We tend to prefer each author to have their commits under their own name, wherever possible. Is that the case in the Apache / svn repo ? > Compared to AOO3.4 I had to make some minor technical changes to get it > apply-able to LO3.6, e.g. sal_Bool -> bool.

Unfortunately, until we can clarify the authorship of all of our commits that touch the files that this patch applies to: something that I'm actively working on, as you know (you might have seen a number of statements on this list in recent days :-) - merging code from the Apache project is not possible *unless* we get an explicit MPL/LGPLv3+ dual-license on record. I can imagine Armin has problems getting that statement ;-) IBM is not an enthusiastic contributor to LibreOffice sadly, and as such we have to treat this very carefully. That sucks ! however, I'm fully aware of the feature-freeze coming up, and I'm working hard to get the ground work done, so that your lovely feature can be included for 3.6 :-) [ and yes the delay, and the burning away of my life that this work creates is not appreciated - but it's not my fault ;-]. Hope that helps, Michael. -- michael.me...@suse.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
