What can we reply to the "unsupported" remark?
"Well, the VLC webpage says that 'VLC works on most platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Unix...' and I am offering to push 'most' to one more of the Unix platforms. Is there something wrong in fixing support for a platform?" If they say "We don't want to clutter our code with obsoleted tests" than you are out of luck, though. :-) Best regards -- Dago -- "You don't become great by trying to be great, you become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process." - xkcd #896 _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
