Hi,

Is there someone in charge of applying patches to FPC? If so, is that someone on leave?
I have noticed quite a few patches being sent to FPC-Devel mailing list, but hardly any gets applied. 6 months ago, this was a different story. I'm just asking... ;-)

I for one have submitted a few patches and have a few more available, but holding off on the rest for now. None of them have been applied yet. Most were submitted in Aug and then again in Sept.

Title and Date:
----------------------
patch - classes.xml (6 Sept)
patch - prog.tex (30 Aug)
patch - types.pp (6 Sept)

Regards,
- Graeme -

Just come to the fpc IRC channel and talk about your patch, try to find someone in charge and bug him again and again, until it is either applied or denied ;-)

Other way: create a bug report in mantis and attach your patch.

I have never used IRC before, but have heard of it.. What server do I connect to, and what channel in that server do I use? I think Ubuntu comes with an IRC client.

Yes, do you remember the issue http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=7187 ?. The patch didn't seems to exist in newer versions of 2.1.1, and in mantis it's marked as resolved.

I haven't noticed that, sorry. I double checked it now with my current 2.1.1 (r4609) and the fix for bug #7187 is still there. All my unit tests testing for that bug pass. Not sure if it got into FPC 2.0.4 though. Should be worth a check.

It's freenode. See http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml for available servers, but your client should allready know freenode, I guess. The channels are #fpc and #lazarus-ide

Maybe in the source version the patch is included but i've downloaded current compiled version from
"ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/snapshot/v21/i386-win32/fpc-2.1.1.i386-win32.zip" and it isn't included.

Umm, I don't use the snapshots, only the SubVersion source which I normally update every Monday. I thought the snapshots get created nightly from the SubVersion source.
