No, I don't think people expect SCM commit access. I do think they expect the time required to integrate to be reasonably proportional to the size and scope of the change. There have been putbacks that were purely cosmetic in nature that still took weeks to integrate, as an example. Large changes should take a long time, short changes a short time, and tiny changes a tiny amount of time. If we could reach that, that would go a long way towards sorting things out. Hence my earlier comment about it being unfair to expect SUN employees alone to take responsibility for these items (in their spare time no less from what I've been told). -Shawn This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
