why should I send you any more patches 4 initrd-tools?

Hi folks,

I have posted several patches for initrd-tools to
this list and to the bug tracking system. And I am
not alone: A lot of bugs for initrd-tools could be
marked as fixed, if the patches that can be found
in the various reports get applied.

2(!) of my patches have been applied for 0.1.75 (on
experimental) by somebody with write permission on CVS,
but not without introducing a stupid typo (breaking
SCSI support completely) that was not in my patch. Of
course I have created another bug report and attached
the obvious fix, too.

For 0.1.76 (on unstable) I was surprised by the changelog
claiming that I did introduce the typo. Come on, folks!
I am used to test my software. Surely as every SW engineer
I have introduced a lot of bugs to the software I was
involved with. But I don't like to be accused in the
changelog for delivering bad code, just because somebody
preferred to manually apply my patch and then did not
even verify his work.

But what really makes me pissed is that all the other
patches floating around in the bug reports still haven't
been applied! They haven't been rejected, either.

For my part this makes me feel that I have just wasted
my time. Why should I send you any more patches, if
they are ignored?


Regards

Harri
