No sorry. The patch that was applied was not Sven's patch, but a patch I basically created myself from scratch. Sven's patch was broken (/etc/inittab would not have had the correct line) and had unnecessary code duplication (as he indicated himself). So, IMO there is no need to credit him for the patch and we normally don't credit people just for submitting a bug report. The citing of translators is automated and is a completely different issue and they actually do write and commit the changes they are credited for. Sven has always been correctly credited for any patches he's submitted or work he's contributed. Cheers, FJP
