So if I may recommend: Why not include the patch as a separate file in your
download,
John explained why. This patch does not represent the direction he
wants to go with Botnet. Remember that comment about design philosophy?
When he GOES in that direction, the function of the patch will be subsumed
by it and he can stop distributing the patch. The reason its *called* a
patch is because it provides a temporary fix to a problem that can later
be corrected 'properly' in accordance with design philosophy....
Please be clear that I was not asking that he modify his original code to
'include' the patch, but that he merely supply the patch file or even just
a link to it, as a temporary measure for people who need it. This would
not cause a 'design philosophy' problem. It would just save people the
trouble of having the problem and *finding* the patch.
But again, it's his time, he can do with it as he will. I just make the
suggestions that seem reasonable to me. :)
