Yes, if you have a problem with the work I have been doing on this project, please let me know. Without feedback, I have no idea if someone doesn't like what I am doing, and hence, I will not change my direction. I did address the SGI patches that I rejected in the next sentence I wrote, which you snipped. And to address the problem if Chris and I start getting mad at each other, start to pull patches that the other one applies, and generally cause mayhem in the lsm tree. Someone will get tired of us, take the code (remember it _is_ open source) and go off and do it themselves, probably bringing along the rest of the group who is also tired of our antics. That's the beauty of open source. If you don't like the job that I'm doing, Chris is doing, or anyone else is doing, take the stuff and do it yourself. No one is in control of you doing whatever you want with the code. So that is the main reason why there are not loony things like "voting systems" on "goodness" of patches, "time periods of comments", and other such bureaucracies in open source projects. It is not needed. Hell, I've been thinking of starting my own bk tree lately as I've gotten very annoyed at the fact that the tree is broken. But I trust that Chris is working the best that he can on it, and he is. Because of that trust I have in him, I'm not going to go off and do my own thing. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
