Re: [Gcl-devel] How to submit GCL patches

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

First, let me thank you again so much for your attention and
contribution to GCL!  I've downloaded your patches and are looking
them over.

Regarding the bfd patch, I cannot find a bfd version (on any debian
release version at least) which requires this output_bfd setting.  Can
you fill me in on the problem you encountered?

Take care,

Am now trying the emacs spam-stat package with gnus, and a more
aggressive fancy-split variable.  Will see if this can keep up with
the developments on the dark side :-).

Perhaps you could register at savannah and send me your username --
then we can discuss some commit policy?  If your interested, then
welcome aboard!
