that works if upstream uses this kind of decentralized way of working, where sending a patch to a list or a developper works. Some upstreams will tell you to send the patch to a bugzilla, where someone will probably eventually commit it, one day or the other (year). Not all upstreams are linux, git, ikiwiki or similar communities. Some other are glibc, mozilla, <put your nicest upstream here>. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
