You submitted the patch on the 08 Aug 2016 and it was reviewed on the 10 Aug 2016. Unfortunately your first version of the patch included a bug that the review identified. > In addition to that, I also believe that Jürg's decision not to merge the > patch is misguided. > [Snip] I would accept there is a communication failure of the Vala release cycle, but I think there is a far more favourable interpretation of the decision not to merge the patch at the current time. Vala is a GNOME core project and currently follows the GNOME release cycle. See https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointTwentyoneA hard code freeze started on the 12 Sep 2016 and you will see Vala 0.33.1 was tagged on that day. Including a version of Vala with GNOME 3.22.0 that cannot build some packages just isn't going to happen. I would say that is why your patch wasn't merged at the time. It may be possible to get it in for the GNOME 3.22.1 release, but that is an ongoing discussion on the particular bug. BTW, thank you for your work on Vala. It looks like you have four patches in this next release. For anyone else who wants to see what Mattias's work has improved in the type system of Vala's internals see: https://git.gnome.org/browse/vala/log/?qt=author&q=matthias%20berndt Regards, Al _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
