Oh, so you do still read the list? I was just checking. :)

These patches aren't final at all, I actually think I copied things
around too much as I have quite a bit of stuff locally that I'm
working on. I'm not even close to committing these directly, and I can
pretty much see that I'm going to completely rewrite the trio of
cache/be_files/db (along with package) and rework just about
everything, so that is what I was anticipating. Looks like I jumped
the gun.

But before you go howling at the copyright police (which is completely
different than a GPL violation, so I apologize for that mixup in the
past), it sure would be nice if you gave us some credit too when you
do port over our commits and work. And our project name is not
pacman-g1.

(you did give credit here, thanks, but still couldn't set the author
right?)

(nice jab there, pretty mature)
