HUGE code structure changes... you could pick at it, but the patch itself definitely wouldn't apply. Okay; I may eyeball this in case I can't wait for 0.19. [*] > ??? I'm confused. I was under the impression that feature requests > were very much discouraged in trac [ . . . ] I use it for feature requests.. maybe the other devs don't, but that's where people tend to put them, and it's one of the only places to put info that is guaranteed to be looked at. Okay, then that's where I'll send feature requests for mythweb, anyway. But there probably won't be any until 0.19 is released, since I probably can't justify the instability of SVN. [Note that, e.g., trac #952 is an example of something that was apparently closed 'cause "feature request without patch attached"; I tripped over this at random just now. It also says "Read the Ticket HowTo" but that page (http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/wiki/HowTo) has never been written, although the actual URL written there after HowTo, namely http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/wiki/TicketHowTo, has.] Anyway, thanks again! [*] A whine: It's really unfortunate that so many milestones are part of the next release; it's somewhat painful to be in the situation of wanting a modicum of stability, but therefore to be running a release that's will probably be a year old before it's superceded and hence is so old that many SVN users can't even remember what was in it, and for which filing bug reports is essentially useless----or, on the other horn of this dilemma, to use an SVN that's so unstable that deliberate weeks-long breakages of features are done on the mainline instead of a branch. I wish we could have stable or even semi-stable releases on better than a yearly schedule, or that SVN used branches more. Oh well. [And, while I'm wishing for a pony, I wish that it was possible to at least use a mix of SVN and stable, but the protocol/schema changes make this impossible, too, so it's quite difficult to have a stable production machine -and- a testbed machine without a lot of duplication of resources and time. Alas, alack.]
