Can someone insert these patches in the git-repository.
I cannot do it myself, because the git-client on my OpenVMS is very

Why not make the changes on another system and send the patches for
review from that system. I doubt anyone here is going to do the work
for you.
Not only that, but the FTP link won't open in Chrome ('command not
supported'), and using a command line client to get /openvms fails,
because you need 'cd OPENVMS.DIR' instead. Once you've got over that,
and figured out how to put a semicolon in FTP command names, you then
get a zip archive which expands just containing a collection of files
which form a partial source tree.
The normal patch contribution guidelines are:
- make only one change (or set of related changes, e.g. 'remove
unsupported #pragma once in this file', 'add #ifdef __VMS__ to these
files', etc) per patch
- build up a set of patches (using 'patch')
- send these patches individually to the mailing list for review
A ZIP file on an OpenVMS FTP server you can't access with regular
clients, containing 70 files (some of which are automatically
generated from other source, e.g. glsl_lexer.cpp) and no indication of
the actual differences from git, is really very far outside these
guidelines. I'm sorry to hear OpenVMS doesn't have a functional git
client, but perhaps you could consider using an operating system which
allows you to generate patches in the way that any normal open source
project would expect.
I think the last time Jouk submitted "patches" a few years ago they
weren't real patches and I gave up trying to integrate the changes.
Jouk, can you prepare normal patches instead and post them for review to
mesa-dev?
And, sorry to ask, but is anyone other than you interested in OpenVMS
support? I know you've been contributing OpenVMS support since the
early days of Mesa, but I don't recall ever seeing any indication of any
other users.
