To give an example. I have posted a patch that fixes an issue with MAXPS for our site. I submitted a bug report and asked several times to the list if the patch will be applied, rejected or must i change the patch so it would be applied. Till now i have not had a reaction at all ;-(

My apologies.  I thought another developer had gotten back to you about
this patch.  The only tricky part about this patch, and the reason that
it hasn't yet been applied, is that it changes default behavior.
Because Maui is in use at so many locations, we try not to change the
default behavior ever.  Normally, in a situation like this, it's best to
create a new parameter, like NODEALLOCMAXPS {TRUE|FALSE}.  When set to
TRUE then you get the behavior you desire.  But default, however, it is
set to FALSE so as not to disrupt the standard behavior that others have
come to expect.  The developers here were split as to whether this was a
"bug" or not.


I will be nice if the discussion is on the list or the result. Now a lot of time is wasted till we finally come to a result. Is not a bug then it is an enhancement.

Oke i have implemented it with NODEALLOCMAXPS and it is a sched parameter and the default is FALSE.

If i send the patches will it be incorporated in the next snaphot release?


Regards
