I meant this only as an RFC, to get feedback for my patch, from
a
<br>
functional point of view, it is not intended to be the final
patch.
<br>
I have a Signed-off-by tag, are you referring to something else?
<br>
Can you give me more details about Upstream-Status? I've
google'd this
<br>
problem for a bit but could not find an existing patch for it,
nor a bug
<br>
filled for this matter. Since I don't know yet if what I'm
fixing it's
<br>
really a bug (or a misconfiguration on my side) I send this RFC
to get a
<br>
hold of whether I'm on the good track here or not. If this patch
turns
<br>
out to be valid, I'll get in touch with the guys from coreutils'
mailing
<br>
lists, and try to push it upstream.

Radu,
<br>
<br>
For patches included in a given recipe we also have Signed-off-by
as well as the Upstream-Status tag as defined by:
<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines">http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines</a>
<br>
<br>
Please review this again.

Soul,<br>
I understood your point, and in the <b>actual</b> patch I will
update the Sign-off-by and a short description, and an Upstream
Status. However, I reviewed again Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines
and there is nothing in there mentioned about RFCs. This is an RFC,
and it was intended to get a quick feedback from people more
familiar/experienced with coreutils/autotools. I need feedback about
the functional change of this patch. In my first reply I described
as extensively as I could my problem and my question. <br>
<br>
As far as the RFCs go, how long should I wait on an RFC? It's been
more then a few days and nobody commented. Would it be appropriate
to assume that if nobody had any comments, the patch is valid?<br>
