Should I resend the patch without the end-of-line-spaces change ?
James has his own response times.
I suggest you have much patience.... :)
Alon.
I apologize for not having the bandwidth to focus as much on the patch
queue as I would like, but please understand that we're on the verge of
releasing 2.1 and we have to be very conservative about accepting
patches at this point.
I think it's fair to ask that we try to limit ourselves at this late
stage to patches that address issues that affect a large number of
users, or bug fixes that are sufficiently trivial that there is little
or no chance of causing unforeseen breakage. I think there needs to be
an argument for why the patch is important right now, as opposed to
waiting a while for the 2.2 beta series.
Remember that sometimes just posting a patch here on the list is an
optimal solution even if it is not immediately merged into the mainline
-- people that need it can always apply it, and this allows the patch to
be tested more extensively before it is merged.
