This is not true. I know those who's submitted patches and they get rejected 100% with non-technical reasonings such as not knowing rose or it wasn't developed within the maintainer group. This is not a secret, many know this which is why there's multiple distributions of the exact same packages out there. Discussions on this are quite old as I'm sure David Ranch will agree. Until the maintainers of the original packages begin to accept patches sent, they could make .diff files themselves from the other releases, test, and incorporate them for better improved "original" release. Ever since kernel 4.2, the whole ax.25 suite is of no value whatsoever and now people are going round robin blaming others rather than fixing things. Marius made a patch as well, which appears to be working on his site but I do not know if he submitted it to the maintainers. With the history of rejections of patches I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't. </$0.02> -- I won't be like a Texas official and call Ocasio-Cortez a bimbo but she does think Roe vs Wade are two different ways to cross a river. ----- 73 de Brian N1URO IPv6 Certified n1uro-dawt-ampr-dawt-org uronode-dawt-n1uro-dawt-com
