The first three patches I just sent to the list encompass the new implementation of the IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup behavior. These changes are much smaller (although the addition of better documentation blocks makes them look bigger than they are in terms of code size) than my previous changes, but they accomplish the same thing (albeit slightly less efficiently in some cases). The last patch is the change to the pactest/README which incorporates feedback from the list. I tried to make these emails include the patches inline but I do not know if I was successful. I used the command: git format-patch --signoff --stdout --inline HEAD^^^^ | git imap-send To generate the emails and get them to my IMAP server, from where I sent them. In future I might use git send-email instead, I found it convenient to use git imap-send but if it doesn't produce properly inlined messages, I can switch to git send-email. Thanks, Bryan
