This prevents indent from printing the "const" keyword twice on const function definitions in C++

Hi Michael,

Thanks for taking the time to research, write, and send this to Scientific Linux![1] The best way to get this patch included in a new version of Scientific Linux is to get the fix included further up stream.[2] That way groups other than this one can benefit from your work on this issue. From our side we try not to deviate very much from what our upstream provider is doing. Our hope is that by following them closely we reduce the possible problems our users encounter. But this can lead to some tension in the application of patches, particularly patches that fix problems.

One of the best ways we can give back to our upstream providers is fixes like this one. I hope that you can open a bug with them so that everyone can benefit from this. As a point of etiquette, they prefer not to have mention of SL on their bug tracker. Our source, for any package they provide, is their source. Any patches we apply are noted in the changelog with justifications and generally attributed to Connie, Troy (who has left us), myself, or the Scientific Linux Development list.

Right now our commitment to improving SL, assisting upstream in fixes, and generally trying to give back to the linux community at large gives us pause before applying any patch for upstream packages which doesn't have an associated bugzilla number. They've given us so much, we want to try and give back where we can and help encourage others to do so in the spirit of the open source movement.

Again, thank you for your efforts here!

Pat
