But at least I write code! Without me there wouldn't be stable ntfs read support on Linux today (except for Captive perhaps, that is). To rephrase better: There would be no opensource and freeware linux ntfs support. I think it a lot better to write a lot of code than to write only half the code but to know it is bug free... And anyway I have often said that libntfs is a staging area for my kernel development so I don't care about it that much that I would test my code to death for it... > If you don't get answers (linux-ntfs-dev became moderated due to spams and > sometimes it takes 3+ days to approve a message) I'm afraid you have to > look at it yourself. There are no messages except spam that I can see waiting for approval... And I just got married so I am not really checking email (haven't done for about a week and won't again until next week probably). > need a very important fix to be applied to libntfs but I didn't get > response so far for my patches whereever I send them (since the cvs->bk > change I can't commit). I haven't received any email from you. I don't think I have touched my spam folder recently so when I get back I will search it for emails from you. Why don't you send your patches to linux-ntfs-dev? Those should always manage to get to me and if not I should be able to see them in the archives... And there is the patch submission thing in the tracker on sourceforge if you prefer that. I can assure you I have _never_ ignored a patch that I have seen! > Merry Christmas :) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!
