It's hard for me to tell, really, since you submitted patches with FUBAR in them, so you seemed pretty angry in that e-mail.

I have read the discussions on arch@, and understand what libxo is trying to accomplish, and am eager to have this because I will definitely use it in stuff I am working on. I have also worked with Marcel and Phil, and respect them both quite a bit. It's a shame that some of the libxo commits broke some things, but if I was doing this type of work, I would probably make some mistakes and break things too, since this is low-level stuff covering many utilities in Unix. Hopefully, we can fix these things can quickly, and we move on. > Do you really believe that the Nd entries for these manpages are > correct? > I'm not an expert on the mdoc format, so I couldn't tell you. If you can think of some patches to fix things, in the man pages, would you be able to submit the patches to Phil, and have them incorporated into the software to make it better? libxo is maintained at https://github.com/Juniper/libxo . I don't know if you are willing/able to submit patches to the libxo project on Github, to help fix things. That would be great if you could do that and help out. -- Craig _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
