I'm new to this mailing list.  Just so I understand what just happened...

1) David Southwell found a problem with the libxine port missing a source file 2) He posted what he found here, expecting it to be fixed (presumably immediately)

Wouldn't the proper procedure be to document this in a problem report so it can go through the established process? What I can't get a feel for is how long it actually takes to process a PR. So is what David did ok for this type of problem, or he is just circumventing the process?

Serious question.

Thanks,
John
