Making a binary created from patched sources available is very bad IMO.
Thanks for your opinion. So, you are saying that if I find that a patch
does something useful I should not share it with others.
Yes ;-)
Either this patch is for your personal convenience, then you should not
make the binary available, or it is useful in general, then the patch
should be included in the official version.
I find this to be a somewhat hypocritical attitude, as I tried to have
accepted a similar patch but it was rejected.
But now you have more power to push it in :-) well, at least on trunk.
But maybe when you say
"useful in general" you mean that it must be useful for all platforms
an not for a particular one (which is not yours).
I don't know if the README in the package talks about the patch and where to
get it, but if it does not then you are even breaking the GPL.
Now you are going a bit above the lines (even for a Friday).
Please, find attached the patch in question. As you can see it does not
introduce changed behaviour or anything else. Perhaps I forgot to put it
on the wiki, and you could have suggested that I should do it, instead
of going through a hideous legalese. But I take it as a Friday statement.
Cool it down Enrico, this is just Georg way of stating fact in a cold
manner...

Ah... this is for 1.4 then... Do we need sth similar for 1.5 or is it
already in? I guess part of it (the font part) is already in.
Abdel.
