Hi all. It's been almost two weeks since I submitted my most recent patches, after much discussion, much back-and-forth, many changes, and many hours of work on my part. But I've heard nothing about the acceptance of my patches except "someone is reviewing them". To be quite blunt, I don't think my patches are being actively reviewed. If they were, I'd expect someone to have some questions for me about the code, something to indicate why the patches have not yet been applied. But I'm not hearing anything so I conclude that in reality my patches simply aren't getting any attention. I think that what I really need to do is just remind the pacman source maintainers that my patches are out there and I'm waiting for them to be accepted. I realize that everyone is busy with lots of stuff, and that the particular issue that my patches address may not be high on anyone's list of pacman priorities (although there is a bug open about it in flyspray, so it's at least important enough that it's being tracked as an issue). But I think I've been very patient - it's been weeks since I submitted my patches - and I really hope that someone can just accept my patches so that I can put this issue to rest. I'm really worried that as time goes on and other changes go into the pacman sources, my patches have a greater and greater chance of needing to be re-worked to be accepted. And I've already spent a great deal more time than I anticipated on this, I really don't want to spend any more if I don't have to. So somebody, *please*, accept my patches, or let me know what I need to do to get them accepted. By the way, please note that my most recent version of these patches, of almost two weeks ago, address the issues that Dan McGee had raised that I hadn't responded to. There are no outstanding issues that these patches have not addressed.
