Bug#218131: Status of tcsetattr patch

[Matt Taggart <taggart@debian.org>]

Hi Jeff,

In your assessment of the three conditions that POSIX tcsetattr needs
to handle, outlined in the Debian BTS at

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=218131

you mention that you have a patch for the Debian package,

http://hackers.progeny.com/~licquia/lsb/patches/sarge/glibc_2.3.2-9/tcsetattr.d
patch

which, unlike existing fixes other distros are using, handles all three cases.

Is the fix appropriate?(fixes something that applications should expect to be 
able to do? ie despite POSIX, will upstream care?)
Is the patch acceptable upstream?
Have you sent it to them?

debian-glibc folks,

Have you looked at the patch?
Does to look correct/appropriate?
Can it go in the Debian package?
Can you help get it accepted upstream?

This problem is one of the few remaining LSB test suite failures.

Thanks,
