Following the thread on the second message you pointed to, it looks like there was no Cygwin copyright assignment filed for the patch submitter. Since the patch is substantial, a copyright assignment is required to integrate the patch (see ). If someone else writes *another* patch (without looking at the above one), with correct formatting, submits a copyright assignment, and sends the patch to the cygwin-patches list, it has a good chance of being integrated, IMHO[*]. HTH, Igor [*] I don't speak for the Cygwin project leaders, of course. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ pechtcha@cs.nyu.edu ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ igor@watson.ibm.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
