Care to make a patch? (If not, that's no problem, but it will take longer. :)) The upstream dash repo is at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dash/dash.git and the mailing list is d...@vger.kernel.org. They love patches (and the "inline" format[1] used on the Linux kernel list is preferred). No need to subscribe; the convention is to always reply-to-all there. Thanks, Jonathan [1] "The canonical patch format" in http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
