No, it doesn't. Requesting your code to be pulled is a serious
matter,
and a major break of the trust that is necessary for us all to
work
together. You can't do something like this and expect it not
to have
consequences.
It was already unlikely that you would get any of your patches
in, based
on their technical merit, but now even if you managed to make
your code
acceptable, I wouldn't put it in, because I can't trust you
not to make
me pull it out again next time you get mad at me.
And I agree with this decision. You are technically "the keeper
of the code" and I have on more than one occasion transgressed
this unwritten rule.
However, I will still post patches for comments in Wine
Development and subsequently release them to the LGPL/Wine in
Wine-Patches so that others can work with them. I feel that is
only fair for what I have done. Is that acceptable?
This seems to be the method used by others, however I have been
known to be massively incorrect in the past, and I could be wrong now.
If posting them to bug reports is the preferred method I will that
instead.

Hello James,
This is just my opinion OK, So don't take this as the opinion of
Wine/WineHQ or anyone else.
In the past I had a very serious drinking problem and I pissed off
allot of people, and most of them were
my friends. So one day I decided to stop drinking and to try and
repair old friendships, saying sorry will only
get you, or me, or anyone of us just so far... The only way to get
back trust and friendship is to earn it a little each
day by your actions. And not to overreact to a past overreaction. :)
So my suggestion is to take it a day at a time and try and mend past
mistakes by future actions.
Again, thank you. I have a few patches to work on and then they will be
submitted, like I said, into the public domain.
