It's more time consuming for someone else to find out whether the change is relevant for v5-10 and how to redo the change in v5-10 in case of failed hunks from `patch'. Because only doc- and bugfixes should go there, the number of relevant changes should be quite small. Here is a suggestion on how to do it rather convenient (suggestions for improvement very welcome): - Open the ChangeLog file in the No Gnus directory. - Goto 2004-01-04 (No Gnus starts here). Search for your name with `C-r'. - (If the entry might be relevant:) Open the source file(s) *in the v5-10* directory, browse the log with `C-x v l', use `d' (log-view-diff) to view the change. If relevant, apply the hunk(s) using `C-c C-a' from the *vc-diff* buffer. Add the ChangeLog entry using the current date. Commit. - Do this for the ChangeLogs in texi/ and lisp/. - Post a message in this thread that you have checked (and installed) your changes. > Some developers are busy and can't do this - should we build a list > of commits, sorted by name and date? I think that the ChangeLogs are sufficient. > This may depend on an unresponsive (for whatever reason) developer - > we need to either assign the task to someone else or forget about > those fixes. Of course everyone can also apply changes from someone else. Does this answer your questions? Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- PGP key available via WWW http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
