Hello
Since I am following the ntdll development, I noticed some not applied patches:
- Ntdll atom stuff: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2003/04/0064.html
- Ntdll atom tests. http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2003/04/0065.html The tests where verified by Dmitry Timoshkov in this mail: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/04/0192.html
- Resend: Implement some ACE functions http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2003/04/0129.html
IMHO, if a patch is correct (can be verified by tests) it should be applied, even if no application needs this functions (at the moment). If this functions are needed later, some implementation (with FIXMEs) is already there as base for further development. This is easier than looking for a (possibly outdated) patch in the archieves.
I see the wine source also as a information repository, which is easier to access, than a patch archive. In the worst case it should be possible that a function is accepted but deactivated with #ifdef.
