Do you call a function to do the job of a redirection?
Yep. We need to do it _within_ status.
Reading (or not) your commit message I thought you wanted to do that. What do you think about doing you eval inside status? Or better, just rollback from your previous patch where you assert this write can be done in one line with status instead of a classic status_start / status_done? In this case, the use of status is not the best choice I think. -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net
