I have seen quite a few e-mails from the contributors in the not-so-distant-past which clearly told that they were not satisifed with our turn around time. Why would they even contribute when their systems were already running with their custom versions? Anyway, I am not arguing here - I understand we can get to the patches only upon our own timeframes... > As long as we address the patches prior to a > release by either applying them or postponing > them for good reason then we're still doing > ok, aren't we? Cause-Effect: Fixing a release date and then looking at the available patches to meet that date is not better than applying existing patches which push for a new release. > I agree its nice to keep up with them regularly > if at all possible.

Don't get me wrong. I am not imposing on you in any way. Forgive me, if I gave that impression. I just made a request because you had been involved with the code; that is all... And I really really know the huge amount of time you spend on ant-dev, ant-user, and jguru, which, frankly, I think you shouldn't be, lest you burn out :-) > > Erik > Cheers, Magesh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
