thank you for your quick reply. Maybe my e-mails from my yahoo.com address just got trapped in Rob's spam filter. ;) I'll resubscribe to libtool mailing lists from this account.

That's good news. I've just discovered libtool a year ago, and I appreciate the work that has gone into it. Thank you all for your making this tool and keeping it alive.
We have a few small patches for libtool in kaffe's current CVS. So I'd like libtool to profit from the work that has gone into fixing the small issues, just like kaffe profits from using libtool in the first place. ;)
relying on Robert Boehne to apply most of the patches. We received mail from Robert on the libtool list on June 25th so he is still alive and well. Perhaps he is just on vacation. Even open source developers take vacation.
Thanks, for an outsider like me, it's hard to understand a project's internal social structure. I've got one more question, though: how do you handle external patches from distributors? Do you hunt down their patches trying to integrate their changes back into the CVS tree? Or do you wait till they contact you?
Here's a short list of patches I've found by browing the web: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/devel/libtool/patches/ http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/libtool/patches/ http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/devel/libtool15/files/ http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/libtool-1.5-3.i386.html http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libt/libtool/libtool_1.4.3-10.diff.gz etc.
Back to my own patch: I'll repost it to libtool-patches and post a patch ping on the libtool mailing list.
cheers, dalibor topic
