<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Yes. That makes sense. It could be that my “request to get patches reviewed/committed” isn’t appropriate. Is there a defined procedure to get a commit privileged developer to review/commit community submitted patches? Typically, I’ll run across an issue that hasn’t been reported before( or at least I haven’t been able to find a case on the boards or in Mantis). I’ll post a question to the users list to illicit a response from the community. If there are no responses I’ll attempt to fix it myself. If I come up with a reasonable solution, I then post a patch to vtk-developers and also Mantis. Is that about right?<BR>
How would I get the attention of a developer to initiate the new process? I’ve only seen the process defined for developers with commit privileges ( <a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_cvs_commit_Guidelines">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_cvs_commit_Guidelines</a>) .<BR>

Then, the developer who does that can request (via adding a note to the mantis entry even...) for it to be merged to VTK-5-4 and follow the procedure outlined on the Wiki.<BR>
<BR>
Does that sound reasonable?<BR>

Thx,<BR>

<BR>
Some of you may have noticed that the latest VTK release announcement email came from Zack Galbreath instead of me.<BR>
<BR>
Zack Galbreath of Kitware, Inc. has taken on the roles of VTK release guy and VTK merge master. In helping him transition to those roles, we have added a Wiki page describing how to submit a patch (from changes you make to VTK CVS HEAD) to be included in the next bug-fix-patch release of VTK.<BR>
<BR>
Please review the information on <a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_Patch_Procedure">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_Patch_Procedure</a> <<a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_Patch_Procedure">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_Patch_Procedure</a>> and follow it diligently when preparing patches to be merged to VTK-5-4 (and future release branches).<BR>
<BR>
Any questions? Post them here... I'm sure Zack will chime in.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
David Cole<BR>
Kitware, Inc.<BR>
