Conor - Re: this patch to 14295
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14295
I hadn't realized the others bugs you mentioned (14006,14208,14210)
weren't in 1.5.2 either. My preference would be that all of them go
into 1.5.2,
They all look like bugfixes (rather than new features) so they can go into 1.5.2, IMHO. I'll take care of that.
Re: we're all volunteers - I know and I salute you guys for all the work
that you do! Nonetheless, for those of us who also would like to help
but at a lesser level of commitment than you committers, there needs to
be a better mechanism to get our contributions into the flow. In this
case, you don't have StarTeam and have no ability to support these
tasks. I do, and am glad to help, and this amount of time commitment
suits my schedule (although not my wife's!) but these sorts of delays
are an annoyance.
I agree completely. My personal priority for Ant, right now, is to get the number of bugs and enhancements down significantly. I certainly appreciate the help that people such as yourself put in.
The systemic mechanisms do not work very well.
I think those mechanisms (BugZilla) are OK. At one point most changes to Ant were submitted through [PATCH] mails. These were much harder to keep track of than with BugZilla. At least we have a persistent record, now, of the changes outstanding. It may take time but we do get to them.
