However, I'm not sure if acknowledging the Novartis-originated patches in the log message like this is the best practice and we will understand if the maintainers will decide to strip these notices when applying the patches. Usually, this kind of acknowledgement is made by using "sponsored" email addresses, however mine will probably stop working shortly after I leave and the only way to read it is, shall we say, utmostly inconvenient. ;-) Now, Shawn has proposed 'Sponsored-by:' line at the header footer, which is also an interesting possibility. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis People who take cold baths never have rheumatism, but they have cold baths.
