This is looking good. Some wishlist items from my side:
* Contemporary compression scheme is xz, which has (and rather quickly so) superseded lzma.
I would distribute .gz or even .bz2, but not .lzma nor .xz, was it not for the fact that my web page provider has a limit on the size of files that can be downloaded from their server. I can not have files more than 5 MB in size in the server, so since .lzma brought the compressed file to the allowed size several years ago, I have kept using it, but given your words, I will consider distributing .lzma and .xz files. Some people already have scripts that look for the .lzma file, so I should not stop distributing it.
* I notice that you merged some of your patches (searchheader, replacebug, streamlock, nlinfobug, filterflagbug) already into the codebase itself. Perhaps you could do the same for the other remaining patches? We currently have
Patch600: alpine-2.10-colortext.patch Patch601: alpine-2.10-fancy.patch Patch602: alpine-2.10-ignoresize.patch Patch603: alpine-2.10-insertpat.patch Patch604: alpine-2.10-maildir.patch Patch605: alpine-2.10-WrtAcc.patch Patch606: alpine-2.10-unixnullbug.patch
Some of these patches will be included in future releases of Alpine, some will be heavily modified and included, and some will not be included and stay as patches. I am working in some other projects now, which are going to take long, so that will also have an effect on current patches.
* The "unverified" patch is available for version 2.10 from your page, though quilt reports that it is already applied in the plain 2.10 tarball.
Can you check this again? It does not match my recollection, nor what I see in the page. Thank you! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
