I have written multiple updates to freebsd's : lpr over the past year and a half, and I think I am averaging : about six months between the time I send in a patch and the : time it is applied. In general, it takes me five times more : work to get someone to apply a patch than it takes me to write : the damn patch in the first place. Mind you, I did have one : patch that was applied within about 24 hours of writing it, so : the average is even more amazing. I'm partially to blame for that. I find lpr/lpd hard to audit and changes to it hard to ensure verify. This is more a reflection of lpr/lpd and not on Garance.
