one other advantage of the last patch i submitted is that it makes the django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage easier to test by making its dependency to django.core.files.locks explicit. the other advantage is that django.core.files.locks don't need to be more special-cased to support each possible filesystem. you can then have a short list of "officially" supported filesystems and let the user take the risk of using another one. anyway, i won't push this change anymore, i understand your point of view. if needed i will keep applying my patch after each django upgrade. at least, the patch is attached to the ticket and the workaround is documented if somebody face the same problem. > So whilst I'm aware of the ticket, I'm still > thinking about whether it's a good thing to apply (and, whilst I'm on > the subject, you completely misrepresented the earlier opinions in that > ticket, so if you could resist doing that in the future it would no > doubt help your causes). sorry about that, i'm not fluent in english, i may have not properly understand something, or may have failed to correctly express my point of view. if i have hurt you in any way, i sincerely apologies. > There are tickets that have been open longer than yours and many that > affect more people.
