Why was my patch for Phoenix/wx/lib/softwareupdate.py ignored after it was updated to include the "Tags:" line?
Bostjan:
I’m not a wxPython developer, but I can venture a guess to try to save Robin and others from having to reply:
-
it’s probably not being ignored; you can’t expect turnaround the moment you submit a patch. It takes time; they are working on other things.
-
in your posts, you indicated that you didn’t know what wx.lib.softwareupdate was for. This strongly implies that the patch has not been tested. While I’m sure it does correct one problem with softwareupdate.py, is that it? Does the module work completely? Submitting a patch is much more than just editing a couple of obvious lines and submitting; you have to compile and test, and in this context, test enough such that there can be a “stamp” that says that “yes, this works under Phoenix”.
