His code is currently in a half baked state. Hi everyone,
Sorry for not playing a larger role in getting this taken care of, I've been really busy with other things. The code that I posted was not finished, I know. When I posted it to the yaboot mailing list, I was looking for testing and some feedback as to the approach I took. I have not seen a report of the code breaking where the old ofpath worked or a good reason to keep the old ofpath code around besides the fear of breaking things. However, I do also understand the desire to not rock the boat, especially from Debian's perspective. In any case, if I were to integrate my code with the old ofpath, are there enough people to test it with any confidence over the new version I wrote? Does anyone actually want this? What would be the best solution? -Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
