Sorry, I meant Wine, not git.
Just to be clear on the way I see it, and I am not trying to speak for
Alexandre here, if you want to get a patch in to Wine, apply it to
your local Wine tree, test it and make sure it works on Linux and does
not break a test and or write a test if it has new functionality, then
submit it. The CVS gateway is still open and hes not, not committing
patches just because someone has worked on ReactOS in the past. If it
says the patch is from ReactOS he is likely to still reject it given
all of the noise regarding ReactOS but if you develop it in the Wine
tree, make it clear that its a clean-room implementation and follow
the normal Wine rules for submission, even non-git patches still can
get merged. He's not been rejecting patches from Thomas, Martin, Ge
and others who have worked on ROS in the past and I do not expect him
to start but until the SFLC audit of Wine is done (which is still
being worked on) he is going to reject patches that are developed
specifically for ReactOS. This is not that much of a change then what
was always the case even before the ReactOS audit because he would not
accept certain code that was effectively dead on POSIXish platforms.
