[Robert Urban]

Hi Folks,

a while ago (15th of March) I submitted a new package, "ndyndns-1.14" via
the mailing list.  It doesn't seem to have made it into the repository.

I don't personally care whether it ever makes it into the repo. I've can
always add it to the stuff I check out.  I do however wonder why it didn't
make it in.  I understand that you guys probably have more on your lists
than you can ever hope to accomplish.  I appreciate your effort very much.
I would be helpful to me to know whether my submission was rejected, and
why, or whether it's simply fallen by the wayside, which, as I said, is also
ok.  I submitted it because somewhere you guys have an exhortation to make
packages available to others...

thanks,

Rob Urban

I just had a look at your mail, and noticed that you just sent an URL
to an external tarball. Could you please attach the patch directly in
a mail to the list or add it to the bugtracker (bugs.buildroot.net),
then I'll review it this coming week.

Not quite, the GPL says that you have to make sources available
whenever you distribute binaries - But contributing your changes to us
is ofcourse preferred.
