4 These t-prot patches still did not make it into vanilla t-prot, mostly
5 for one of these reasons: They decrease performance, accuracy, flexibility,
6 reliability or are a real burden to maintain.
8 Still, there might be a chance to have them included into vanilla t-prot:
9 You can send an email to the author and ask him to include this or that
10 specific patch because you *need* it.
12 Remember, filtering is a trade-off. If *many* people need a specific patch,
13 odds are high for it to be included into vanilla t-prot, even though there
14 are some drawbacks with it. If you keep silent, the patch will be dropped
15 at some time, because noone seems to need it.
18 Some patches exist because they bring *big* changes and need some more
19 testing. So if you use these patches, please send an email to the author,
20 and give some feedback on how well the patch works. It will be most helpful
21 to decide if some specific feature makes it into vanilla t-prot.
28 These patches are updated as need be, as several distributions (that
29 is, their t-prot package maintainers) use them to adapt t-prot to the
30 distribution's environment. They will _not_ get dropped just because
33 Users: Please note that these patches will most likely be applied by the
34 t-prot package maintainer(s) of your distribution (if the distribution
35 makes use of said Slang, mutt and gnupg versions).
37 t-prot-*-mutt15*.diff and t-prot-*-gpg1*.diff
38 =============================================
39 You want to be on the bleeding edge, using a developer version of mutt?
40 Your distribution provides just an outdated version of gnupg?
42 No problem, these patches add the locales needed for them to work
43 smoothly. Please send a bug report if there are some great new
44 features in the new mutt or gnupg which break anything inside t-prot.
48 Patch by Gregor Herrmann, making t-prot.sl run with Slang-2.
62 t-prot-*-gol.diff (2nd version)
63 ===============================
64 This patch has been incorporated in t-prot since version 2.95, when
65 Getopt::Mixed would have broken existing configurations with the new
66 behaviour of the -c command line switch. The performance issues are
67 still not solved, though, so if you have an idea how to improve the
68 performance of Getopt::Long, please drop a note.
72 This patch has been dropped. Noone seems to make use of it, and it
73 depends on an external program (GNU date) that may not be available
74 everywhere. Running this program and loading another additional Perl
75 Module also decreases performance.
79 This patch is no longer available -- it seems most users find it too
80 hard to apply it and include the resulting debug output to their bug
81 report. Thanks to everyone who sent bug reports or gave feedback.
83 t-prot-*-deb.unstable.diff
84 ==========================
85 This patch is no longer available. Please use t-prot-*-mutt15*.diff
86 (or any newer replacements) for this purpose.
88 Ah yes, and thanks to the authors of the mutt and gnupg po files for
89 providing enough work and inconsistencies for me never to get bored.
93 This patch is no longer available -- starting with v1.12 it is merged
94 into vanilla t-prot. Thanks to everyone who sent bug reports or gave
97 t-prot-*-gol.diff (first version)
98 =================================
99 This patch is no longer available.
101 The feedback to Debian Bug #193937 came only from two people: the Debian
102 package maintainer, and the original poster of the bug report. The
103 opinion of both of them is very appreciated, but since there came no
104 feedback from *anyone* else, I think the vast majority of users has no
105 interest in switching to Getopt::Long. Furthermore (as stated before),
106 I see no benefits in using Getopt::Long over Getopt::Mixed as long as
107 the latter is working and available at CPAN.
109 t-prot-*-indentms.diff
110 ======================
111 This patch has been dropped, since noone seems to make use of it.
113 t-prot-*-pgphack.diff
114 =====================
115 This patch is no longer available -- starting with v0.90 it is merged
116 into vanilla t-prot. Thanks to everyone who sent bug reports or gave
119 t-prot-*-sigtrace.diff
120 ======================
121 This patch has been dropped. Noone seems to use it, *and* it looks
122 wiser to apply stripping directly to sigtrace.
