Re: [Doxygen-develop] [PATCH] UNO IDL language support

[Dimitri v. H. <di...@st...>]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your contribution.

Could you collapse the UNO IDL related patches into one big patch that
applies against SVH head (which has just been updated)? That makes it
a bit easier for me to apply the patch.

Regards,
  Dimitri

(I agree that Entry::spec should be split into a member and a class field).
