Hi Alex,
Sounds good.
On the other hand, you are really mature to join the revInterop (Rev
Interoperability) project :-)

Hi again Jim,
I think the users and not the patches providers may ask runRev in
order to obtain such a thing :-)
I think it would be useful for the community.
I think it would be courageous from runRev to accept it.
If I was RunRev, I wouldn't be that courageous :-) And, to be
honest, I'd rather that RunRev kept their efforts for the things
that we, the community, can't do ..... and organizing a list of
known patches is something we can do.
I think we could satisfy the needs with a scheme like the following :
Someone hosts a site that collects a list of known patches. (I'll
happily volunteer to do this, it's about time I used some of my
web space for something useful - though in some ways it would be
better if it were hosted by one of the already well-known sites
like Ken or Richard (or revJournal ??))
The list consists of, for each patch,
author, date, URL for the patch, description, version it was
written for, Bugzilla number, fixed-in version
Note the most important part of that is the Bugzilla number -
either of a bug report or enhancement request. This ensures that
RunRev are aware of the need (desire) for a change, and provides a
reliable mechanism to verify whether the feature (or fix) has been
incorporated into a later release. The "fixed-in version" can be
filled in later, based on the changes in the BZ database when a new
release comes out.
The list of patches could be accessed via web browser, or via a
small stack (again, I'll write this if there is interest .... but I
won't be doing that until mid-August onwards). The stack would pick
up any updates from the URL, allow the user to mark which patches
she has applied to which version on which machines, etc.
So at any time you could go run this stack, and determine if there
are patches you'll need to apply to a new version, or whether there
are new patches.
The quality of the patches would be entirely up to the author of
any patch - no judgment to be applied by the list-holder.
The patches remain on the author's own web-site - and hence can be
withdrawn, updated, or otherwise changed. Optionally, they could
also be uploaded to the patch-list site, e.g. if the author didn't
have web space available.
Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
