where were you a couple of weeks ago?
Somewhere between (still) scouring the Internet for an email client that is actually capable of replying to mailing lists, holding out that Allan was working on his own approach and that the patches I submitted before were still visible somewhere that mattered.
Did it take you 2 years? Because that's the last discussion about this I could find.
the next point release
That's fine. I'll post a new version of the patch for consideration after this.
Awesome! Thanks. Note that you can post it right now, it'll just get marked in patchwork as deferred while we focus on more immediate things. Speaking of... we seem to have lost some patchwork history, which might explain in part how this got forgotten.
you're the one who wants it
I can't be the only one who wants this.
Can we not get into a useless argument about this? If you cannot confirm other people who want it, they might as well not exist for the purposes of this discussion. Your belief that it's a useful feature is not a priori proof that other people exist who have been craving this. *Notwithstanding which*, it seems useful, and I've got no personal objections to implementing it. AFAICT Allan doesn't either. But, and this is the huge "but", this still doesn't mean that you can disregard the usual logical rule of "people who are motivated to see something happen, will invest the personal effort to *make sure* it happens". It merely needs the handful of regulars here to be uninterested on a personal level, to ensure that they will not, on a personal level, put in that work, ensuring that that work needs to be done by you. You, being the one person who lies in the intersection of "people who post, if occasionally, to pacman-dev", and "people who have visibly demonstrated they want this". -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
