Tempting When you take on the task of fixing a bug in a package you don't maintain, you are responsible for the whole task, not just the part you want to do. You essentially become the maintainer for that change. So just do what you would do if it really was your package. And really I don't care if you upstream the patch or not, but when the maintainer politely asks you to do so the correct response is "okay", not "do it yourself". -- fonts, gcc-porting, and it's all by design toolchain, wxwidgets to keep us from losing our minds @ gentoo.org EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662
