Ouch. Been there myself - I have a number of branches to clean up, and they will all go through a similar thing. > I think that this type of code "clean" should be made with more respects > for the works of other developers, I can't spend my time fixing cosmetic > HEAD code changes. Well, you had 2 weeks notice, and the guidelines where in place for a long time - 6 months IIRC. We can't force everyone to stop developing and get everything merged before we do things. You had plenty of time to say "hey, please don't do this, I think it'll cause me problems". > If the Squid community wants to support Windows, the nt branch must be > merged now, or please, say "we don't like to support Windows", but please, > respect my time. I certainly do respect your time. I'm a volunteer - just like you. Astyle is a one-time, won't happen again policy implementation. It was proposed when the C++ branch was created, and the guidelines where put up for review. It had to be done before 3.0 was released, to allow for any sort of sane management of the 3.0 and 3.1 branches. It's got nothing (IMO) to do with when the NT port is merged. Any large branch (i.e rproxy) needs maintenance to track head. I can say this: the nt branch won't be merged as a single block. It's too big, and it's had what - three? - authors which means that there are lots of little gotcha's. We need to find those, and the process of merging single bits of functionality does exactly that. I've (AFAIK) merged in all the individual changes you've split off and posted here, with a couple that were evaluated as being unneeded - some of those little gotchas. Having said that: keep splitting parts of the NT branch out, and I'll keep merging them. Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://users.bigpond.net.au/robertc/keys.txt>.
