:With an re@ hat on, I agree with Alfred. When RELENG_5_0 was branched :we asked that gratuitous changes and API, ABI, etc changes be kept to a :minimum and that re@ be consulted before doing them. Cleaning up the code :is fine, changing the names and types of structure members in the API goes :against the spirit of what was requested. : :Please revert your changes to sys/sys/file.h. : :Scott You have got to be joking. If you can show me how this interferes with the release process then, sure, I have no problem reverting the commit. But I have been fairly careful to not make changes in areas under active development for the release and nothing I've done here even remotely comes close to screwing around with the release. You know something, three people have submitted patches to me directly in the last month. No, make that four people now. No. Five people. Half that stuff is still in my tree waiting for an opportune time to commit. I'm working through it all as quickly as I can. Do you know why? Because they get nothing but shit on the lists when they try to have them reviewed there. It's crap like this which is destroying our community and our development process. So please reconsider your request. Consider the amount of work you are asking me to undertake and consider whether it is truely necessary for the release process to impose that degee of work. Because I think it's a specious and inappropriate use of your position. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
