Great. I'll likely modify the test case to add tests for the MutexLock (I suspect it doesn't work as advertized). The resulting fixes won't touch RFA but rather FileAppender, though. > This brings us back to how do I get the current code with any additions > to start working from. First pull the current trunk from subversion - there now is a VS2010 solution that targets 4.0 you can start from. I have also used NUnit's GUI test runner on the test DLL created by VS and it works OK (I have some test failures, but some of them happen with NAnt as well). I don't think there are any patches appended to any of the open JIRA issues WRT RollingFileAppender so svn is all you have. In one of the tickets Ron even mentions major changes in RFA since 1.2.10 so if there were any patches they likely wouldn't apply anymore anyway. It is also possible that some of the issues reported against 1.2.10 have already been fixed by some of the changes Ron mentions. It is probably best to start with a test case (we always do that anyway, no ;-). Once you are done, run "svn diff" in the top level directory and attach the result as patch to the JIRA ticket. I'll take care of it from there. Stefan
