I agree that the proposed changes should be produced as a series of patches in a separate branch. That branch then should be fully reviewed and tested by several developers prior to being merged. I would be happy to help review and test said patches, once they seem fairly complete. I also agree that a new release is due ASAP, so this work should be planned for a future release. An entry in a BUGS file seems most apropos. -- Zach Welch CodeSourcery [email protected] (650) 331-3385 x743 _______________________________________________ Ltrace-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/ltrace-devel
