Hi Paul,
Apologies if I'm missing something, but this updated diff still seems to
conflict with Randy's earlier one. As cdrom doesn't get a lot of churn,
I agreed with Jens that I would usually just send on all accepted
patches at once to him and he would take them via his tree (I currently
have four accepted patches, including your two others and Randy's patch,
plus one other).
Anyhow, please could this be corrected? Or me shown the error of my ways
(always possible I'm making a mistake) :-) Many thanks.
Regards,
Phil
