I will gladly test your fork on my various hardware here. I have a
desktop with Apple CD/RW+DVDROM and generic DVD+/-RW DL drive, and a
laptop with Apple DVD+/-RW drive. Just send or post patches
somewhere and I'll take a look. I suggest starting by looking at
some of the various distro patches, IIRC some of them have already
make significant cleanups.
Matthias, can you give me a hand with this? I'll need a way to sort
and publish incoming patches, letting them sit for a while. (like
what Andrew Morton does for the kernel) This can't work like procps
because the hardware varies too much.
Might I suggest quilt or stgit? Both allow you to maintain an
unstable and highly variable stack of patches based off a more stable
branch, from which some patches percolate down into stable occasionally.
Good luck with this!
Cheers,
Kyle Moffett
