Simple rule, and avoids > double-checking the HEAD and the branches for fixes. this may mean that haskell developers will no more fix bugs himself. if someone is so kind that he fixes bugs himself, i think it will be unwise to force him to do anything more. so, while your plan is excellent for paid workers or for group of enthusiasts i fear that it will be not so good for peoples helping GHC team. may be Ian can handle such situations better (pushing from stable versions to head immediately?). i think that real problem that this creates is just a bit of disorganization where we don't know in which branch each problem is fixed and in which doesn't -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
