No idea what patch, but it was probably me that rejected it. Sorry if it caused an offence, but I always try to give a reason that something is not suitable. If I didn't, or you don't think it's correct, you're welcome to continue to debate it in the relevant JIRA issue, or take it up on the -dev list if you want the opinion of other committers.
The user list is the wrong place for this discussion. Let's keep it to the user's questions. But if after all that the -dev list has also not supported the patch or there have been no additional response, you might have to accept that we've been doing this longer and probably know better :) It's not a unique situation - even when I commit stuff I get rebuked for it sometimes because other developers don't agree - and when they've been doing it longer than I have I accept that they probably know better :) Cheers, Brett On 29 Jun 2004 18:48:30 -0400, Jason van Zyl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 2004-06-29 at 18:16, Craig S.
