Re: [Bacula-devel] assistance on Bat and Qt

[Kern S. <ke...@si...>]

Hello Silver,

Marco is giving you very good advice.  As he says, we are terribly busy 
now, and in fact
for version 5.2.x spent quite a bit of effort upgrading Bat, and I added 
(as well as
perhaps others) sorting in a number of places.

Concerning getting Qt help: none of us are experts. We sort of stumble 
along. I
think some community developer added the code for special sorting (not using
Qt functionality).  You will surely find his name in the code, and you 
might
contact him.

We will help you, but don't expect much until at least the end of 
March.  Even
then, if you do major surgery, we may not have the time to devote to getting
in integrated -- Marco gave you very good advice -- do it in small 
steps, send
it to Marco.  We get a number of submissions, where the developer 
doesn't follow
our programming standards; he implements something enormous that we
don't feel we can support; he implements something that doesn't work on
all systems; or he implements something that breaks existing behavior or
creates future performance problems; or the code comes at the end of
a development cycle where we are only interested in stabilizing the existing
code, which is the current case at least until the end of March ...  In 
those cases, it is a pity,
but we don't accept the code or we implement it much later.

We trust Marco so he is the right guy to talk to and to follow his advice.

Best regards,
Kern
