Will you insist on this real Quotient> name policy? I'm afraid so. Signed-off-by's don't make any sense if they are clearly made up names. I agree that we cannot ensure that people don't make up names, but atleast we try. This is nothing special to buildroot, you'll find lots of other projects requiring it, expecially the ones doing kernel-style signed-off-by's. E.G. from the kernels Documentation/SubmittingPatches: then you just add a line saying Signed-off-by: Random J Developer using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.) And U-Boot: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-January/085905.html And anyway, it's an illusion to think that you can truly remain anonymous on the internet. Based on your mail headers I would say you work for Verifone in their London based office. That combined with the fact that you use Evolution on FC15 probably narrows it down quite a bit. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
