Arch makes merging astoundingly easy. If you don't want to commit twice,
just put your fixes on branch-2-0, and I'll star-merge them back
into HEAD from time to time. If you have time and inclination, I highly
recommend publishing an arch archive of your own... it would help us test and
integrate one-another's changes and save the fuss of applying
patches from email attachments.
Alas, I have very little available time. That is one of the reasons
why I am such a terrible libtool maintainer. :-(
I wanted to help (myself mainly) avoid the temptation to commit `cleanups' to
the branch that 2.0 will be released from. Having a branch for 2.0 now means
I can commit cleanups to HEAD (rather than waiting and then forgetting them)
and put only fixes on the release branch.
Hmmm ... the true reason is revealed! :-)
If it is so easy for you to do, then please merge across the updates I
committed today.
Provided that libtool starts working for MinGW and Solaris (MinGW is
much improved now), I would like to start using development libtool
for the development version of GraphicsMagick in order to gain more
real-world experience with it and flush out any remaining bugs which
keep me from using it for production use.
