Hi, I can't repro this problem on my machine, so I'm sending this patch to patchwatcher by way of wine-patches to get some info. Please do not apply.
Regarding our wineconf discussion about patchwatcher spam on wine-patches and filtering. Perhaps we need 2 email address patches can be sent to. My thinking is the flow could be something like:
- By default everyone sends a patch to wine-patches
- If a patch gets rejected the author gets a failure mail in private,
and now retries or testing patches should go to wine-patches-testing N times until they get it right 3. once its right, patchwatch could then forward the new good patch to wine-patches or could send an email to the dev saying that its good enough to now send to wine-patches.
Doing it like this, if everyone follows the rules, we won't get a ton of patchwatcher retries filling up wine-patches.
Just so everyone is clear, I emailed Dan before submitting the patches asking if there was a way to send a patch directly to patchwatcher and bypass wine-patches, but he said there's not a way yet and that sending the patch to wine-patches should be OK for now.
