Huh? Requests from people who want the codebase changed in big ways, without accompanied patches or real reasons behind those changes, can be annoying at times. Especially when they state that a program can be rewritten using a 1 line bash script, yet that script does not contain all of the functionality that the original program does. And seriously, why are people so upset that the udev package contains a 150 line C program (with comments) that is stand-alone? It's small, does one thing quite well, and people have shown that it can be used in other places than just the boot sequence. If you don't like it, then don't use it. It's that simple. But to complain while offering up no real rational behind the complaint, nor patches to resolve that complaint, doesn't go very far here. Kay was probably just trying to say this in a simple 1 line sentance. For me, it takes 4 paragraphs :) greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
