Unified diff for vmstat.c
Thank you for the patch. However I don't wish to include patches that don't have bugzillas associated and are not present in the upstream version. Have you sent the patch upstream? No, I haven't ... yet. Where do I post it? Wat about the Red Hat patch which transforms some "long" to "long long" (and also affects other files)? Do I include it? The procps upstream maintainer is Albert Cahalan <albert.net>. Update your patch according to the latest CVS version and send it to him (a good starting point is the project homepage: http://procps.sourceforge.net/). It is up to the Product Management to decide what patch is to be included in RHEL. I'm afraid that code cleanup that doesn't fix any bug is really not a good adept for RHEL inclusion. Even more: as you noted changing the output format may cause incompatibilities -- this is simply unacceptable (in RHEL) without any further justification. Hope I made clearer... This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request. |
