Sorry for not answering your first mail!

Well, shame on me, but at the moment there's very little time for
lcd4linux. My son (who is getting 14 months these days, funny how time
flies!) and my real-life job is eating all my time, and I try to cath at
least a few hours of sleep every day (I know this is wasted time, but...
on the other hand, there may be some good drugs outta there :-)

I don't think that the current CVS/SVN is ready for a new release (maybe
I'm wrong, and I should follow the "release early, release often" advice)

Can you tell me what exactly is the problem with GCC-4.1? Maybe I could
just fix these bugs in the stable branch....

Hmmm.... I think this is the same question as with the wiki: I think if
I close it, there will be far less traffic (it's already (too) low
traffic I think)

Speaking for myself, if I want to report a bug or something similar to a
project, and I need to be subscribed, I wont. But as always, YMMV.


bye, Michael (who got up at 5am this morning, visiting a customer,
returned home at 9pm, *not* seeing his son, going to bed now, to get up
at 5am tomorrow, visiting another customer)
