Because it would be a very dreadful job to do nothing else than this (and if you look at the number of outstanding PRs, you'll quickly notice that one person could really deal with this all day and night -- it's not that you're the only one being ignored). The last person who volunteered to do this dreadful job was Mike Pritchard, who disappeared from the earth's surface all of a sudden (although there are now rumours that he's indeed still alive, which itself is already good news, but doesn't help your problem). > Now, to retract a touch, I was in contact with Mark Murray > (mark@grondar.za) about the libcrypt rewrite--but I think he had some > hardware problems Yep, his hardware has been stolen. And yep, he's really the guy in charge for this kind of stuff. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
