I am a PITA. :-)
A while ago you (IMHO rightfully) complained about too much email coming your way, with duplicates due to cross-posting to more than one mailing list increasing the pressure even more. I can only assume that at that time, you were subscribed to the -patches and/or bug- lists as well.
Actually, I was not, and still am not.
However, as you now noted that has a drawback too: some of the feature discussion moves away from the automake list. Ping-ponging back and forth between both lists during the course of one message thread seems awkward and error-prone, too.
Discussions of automake user-visible features should be on the automake list (in the "open"). Discussions of how to implement those features (i.e. actual code) should be on the patches list. Only hard-core developers can survive reading the patches list.
But maybe now that your immediate problem is solved, you aren't all that pissed any more anyway. ;-)
Yes. I am not one to be wasteful. It is held in reserve for later. :-) Bob -- Bob Friesenhahn [email protected], http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/ GraphicsMagick Maintainer, http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/
