I was asking other USERS what they think. So, let's get this straight: 1) Your users have a found a critical bug with your package. 2) Your users invested a great deal of time and work in tracking down the bug, and fixing it, what YOU should be doing. 3) Your users have supplied you with a working patch, and built a working package, which you only have to review and upload.
But YOU would rather leave a great deal of your users (and actually users who are using a Free computer) without an Xserver. So that you don't have to type the command 'rm 01_mips-sarea.diff' sometime in the future. Great work and great sense of responsibility. Keep it up. P.S. From what I understand from previous messages, the patch has already been submitted upstream. But isn't that your job TOO? Otherwise what's the point of the BTS or even a distribution?
