Re: [PATCH] Add 'safe-alloc' module

Hi David, Attached is an incremental patch with those changes. Thanks. With the confirmation by Karl that the copyright is assigned to the FSF both for Dan Berrange and for you, I've added your module, in two commits: 2009-02-21 David Lutterkort lut...@redhat.com Tests for module

Re: [PATCH] Add 'safe-alloc' module

I was told that Red Hat has a blanket agreement with the FSF for copyright assignment. Whatever I did for this module, I did during work hours, so copyright belongs to Red Hat. I think that is also true for Dan (cc'd him so he can confirm that explicitly) Can somebody from the

[PATCH] Add 'safe-alloc' module

Hi, attached is a patch for a new module 'safe-alloc'. The module originated with libvirt[1] and was originally written by Dan Berrange. I touched it up for inclusion into gnulib. I've found them useful for some of my projects, and thought that putting them into gnulib would be much better than

Re: [PATCH] Add 'safe-alloc' module

Please excuse my (mostly-ignorant) intrusion, but are you sure Red Hat does not already have an assignment on file? (I'm sure I heard somewhere that they do at least for certain GNU projects...) Indeed, Red Hat does, as an employer. I have been told that RH employees don't even
