I think the first suggestion was closer to the truth.. If you want I will take responsibility for puting these in the source tree.. (I can do both sets if they are compatible..) The only problem is that I don't know much about Novell protocols. Can the two of you make sure your patches don't clash, and are compatible, with each other? If you do I will guarantee that The resulting combined patch will get applied to the tree. This sort of 'falling through the cracks' is something we really have a problem with.. >From My own perspective, I'd say "hey that's great" when I see these patches, but I'd assume someone else will import them because I know nothing about Novell stuff. anyhow, if you two guys can get me patches relative to -current that don't collide. I WILL put them in.. OK? (after checking that they don't break anythign that I DO know about) julian > > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> > I sent my announcement of IPX for the FreeBSD distribution 5 days ago > and > I haven't received any feedback yet.
