Debian Bug #190732 can be safely closed. The patch you're talking about is in http://sv.gnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=1839 too.
Okie. > What bug did this patch fix exactly? Do you have any test cases > for this? Many small bugs are fixed. Most of the sentences in the changelog entry are separate fixes that are not related to the other changelog entries. If it's needed, I can make more detailed explanation about each sentence. If you could, please do since it would be nice to get this into the tree if it fixes bugs. > And for the future, please please please refrain from > obfuscuating the patch with cosmetic changes (like removing > redundat variables and what not). It makes it so much harder to > read and follow. My observation is that such cosmetic changes (like changing comments and memset/memcpy) are rejected by Hurd core developers when they are alone, so the only way to commit them is to merge them with more essential patch. I don't think they will reject them if they are sane and actually clean up the code. And if that doesn't work, just point to some change by the gods that actually did a clean up. :) Anyway, I find it more important to get actual fixes in, and a patch that one can read without some unneeded cruft is really helpful. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
