All of them were send-pr'ed too. Lack of manpower. Nothing happens to a PR unless some committer happens to notice it and take an interest in it. Find yourself a pet committer and have him review and commit your patches; soon enough he'll tire of it and sponsor you for commit privileges, at which point you'll have no-one to blame when things break (which I sometimes believe is the only reason we give people commit privileges - so they'll stop complaining) DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@ofug.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
