Okie, since you are incapable of actually keeping a two-sided technical discussion; lets change into my flame proof clothes and drop to your level of skills when it comes to discussions.

This patch represents an improvement over what marco submitted and it is what I am using at the moment to build GNU Mach. Bullshit, it breaks existing _WORKING_ code where as Marco's patch does not. Marco's patch does also in fact work. So your claims that this patch is an improvement over Marco's are a fiction of your own damn imagination. So the only one who should get a life is you; I asked a polite question, you respond with throwing rocks at me. > This patch shouldn't be committed since it breaks existing > functionality (the viarhine and u143f drivers) without any good > reason. If you reread my message, I did not ask that it be committed in its current state. I posted the patch with a status report and asked for help. I reread your message, nowhere did you state that this should be committed, but you also nowhere stated that this _SHOULD NOT_ be committed. So by all normal non-nealian logic any patch that gets submitted should be assumed that it is going to be committed; unless otherwise stated. Which is a fact that you did not state. > PS. I was asking for _technical_ reasons on why you disabled > those drivers. Not some fluffy puffy stuff... :-) I have given the technical reason for why I disabled those drivers in my original message. Well boo hoo frigging hoo, I missed a little snippet, I'm human. Guess that you are not; since you can't just _politely_ point out the fact that I missed this bit of information. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
