This project is possibly a better choice to base private patches on:
<http://github.com/mfoemmel/erlang-otp/tree/master>

may be yes, may be no — I didn't know about this repo existence when I created
my repo, anyway. thanks for pointing it out!

Have you sent this to the erlang list? I just checked for both yrashk and
alterline, and I'm not getting any threads for those queries. The OTP team is
generally really good about merging bugfixes, from what I've seen on the list.

~~~
yrashk
I've sent one of the patches so far, yes.

Why's that?

~~~
yrashk
Well, it is what I heard from people who tried that before.

So, you have patches, and you haven't even _attempted_ to get them committed?

The problem is solved for him. He is really under no obligation to do anything
else; if upstream is interested, they can just pull from his repo.

If anyone has bothered mentioning it to them.

I sent some Erlang patches in years ago, and in due time, they showed up in
the main release.

Obligation? No, but it's a nice thing to do. He's demonstrated he's interested
in helping out by publishing them in the first place.

I don't understand you. Wiki page I linked to explicitly states "The intention
of alterline is not to fork Erlang, though — the best outcome for it is to be
merged into official source tree". And I already started pushing some of the
patches out: [http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-
cgi?3:mss:451:200908:oal...](http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-

Cool, that's all I wanted to know. Good work!
