New GNU Classpath developer Gary Benson
Hi all, As you probably already noticed by reading classpath-patches Gary has been working on the security framework. And has written several mauve tests to back up his patches. He now has direct developer access to speed up his work. Gary, here are the rules: The first rule of GNU Classpath is - you do not talk about GNU Classpath, you write code. The second rule of Fight Club is - you DO NOT talk about GNU Classpath, you write code. Third rule of GNU Classpath, someone yells stop!, goes limp, taps out, your patch is NOT approved. Fourth rule, a bug report is between just two people, the reporter and the fixer. Fifth rule, one commit at a time, or get CVS merge conflicts. Sixth rule, no shirt, no shoes, just bare ASCII source. Seventh rule, fixes will go in as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule, if this is your first night at GNU Classpath, you have to patch the AUTHORS file. (*) Please post a patch and ChangeLog entry to classpath-patches to add yourself to the AUTHORS file. You can consider that patch pre-approved of course. Thanks, Mark (*) More formal rules are of course in the GNU Classpath Hackers guide: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/docs/hacking.html -- Escape the Java Trap with GNU Classpath! http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html Join the community at http://planet.classpath.org/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Classpath mailing list Classpath@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath

(*) I, Ito Kazumitsu, did not obey this rule, but I do not think I have to be listed in AUTHORS because I have fixed and will fix only simple bugs. Should I list myself in THANKYOU? ___ Classpath mailing list Classpath@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath

If you have CVS commit privileges, you owe it to your self to do this. It will bring you worldwide renown.

David is right. Please add yourself. We didn't have this "rule" in the past, but from now on we should do this. And your work, testing, reporting, fixing, retesting and discussing solutions for the various issues you found are really appreciated. What seem like "simple bugs" to you are "hairy incomprehensible multi-byte character encoding issues" to others.
