I submitted a patch a week ago for netsnmp but it hasn't got any replies. Is it appropriate to bump it with a follow up email until it gets noticed or is it in the pipeline somewhere eventually to get looked at? Is it better to start a discussion before submitting a patch instead? Thanks for the insight, Przemyslaw Wrzos -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Right now there is a lot traffic on the list, so that I feinitely would wait longer than one week, except there is a reason to want yout patch in 2013.02.

FOSDEM is a very busy conference, so attendees do not have much time looking at there usual tasks... Peter, the current Buildroot maintainer, was attending. Also, we've had two busy days on Monday and Tuesdays discusing Buildroot (the report is on its way), and we had a look at the current patch backlog. I'd say, leave it some time for a patch to be applied. If it is a build or a security fix, then reply about a week later with a message simply stating "ping?" in the body (but keep your original message quoted). If it is a new package, anew package option, or a package bump, then wait for about two weeks before pinging. Anyway, new features (apckages, options or version bumps) are too late for 2013.02; -rc1 is due very soon. Just wait for the end of the month, until the merge window opens again. Regards, Yann E.

The patch was more of an enhancement so there's no rush, just wanted to make sure it wouldn't get lost. I had a quick look around the website but couldn't find a release schedule, merge windows, etc. If there's nothing like that right now it would probably be useful to help keep a track of what's going on for end developers who are not as closely involved with the project.

Nowadays, patches normally don't get lost: whenever a patch is sent to the list, it is recorded by our "patchwork" and becomes listed at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/list/. Then, it takes some human action to either apply the patch, or remove it from this list, or something. But at least all patches sent to the list are recorded. However, as you can see, the number of patches to be applied/considered is quite large, so if your patch hasn't had much attention, it is not bad after a week or two (as suggested by Arnout) to ask what is happening. > I had a quick look around the website but couldn't find a release > schedule, merge windows, etc. If there's nothing like that right now > it would probably be useful to help keep a track of what's going on > for end developers who are not as closely involved with the project. Hum, indeed. Will try to cook a patch for the manual about this.
