The patch #2 is obviously worse and fixes less (of course it still needs testing for Minoru's case), but I'm 100% confident it can't introduce any regression (neither take 1 nor 2), which is much harder to say about patch #1, considering various "rude" configs we could miss (but we could give them some time to show off). But, as I've written before, I'm really (really) OK with your decision.
Thanks for the courtesy. I note Dave already swallowed Minoru's patch; so lets move from there. Yes, there's a possibility of a regression - I (and so are you) are only recently evolved humans; we are not perfect... yet ;-> So i would agree with Minoru testing your patch as plan B in case the applied one starts causing trouble. BTW, ok - here's a quick untested, uncompiled fix to the u32 classifier to fix the first rock (which you already worked around in your changes to the included patch). No rush to submit for now.. On the second rock you threw so violently, after some reflection, I think it is ok to send a replace twice with different priorities. The second one will be added and the old not deleted, but if the user has chosen the correct priority, then things will work out just fine. And if they want they have to explicitly delete the one they dont want. It is also not illegal to do a "replace" for installing instead of "add". So the only other things left to do from this exercise are (no rush in any of them): a) remove all "buckets" from underneath other classifiers b) get consistency across all classifiers in usage of setup API If you want to do this - go ahead; else i plan on tackling it probably when stable 2.6.31 kicks in. cheers, jamal
