Comment 2 Caleb Cushing 2009-03-05 23:09:14 UTC

patch requires that patches from bug 261381 be applied first.

Comment 3 Caleb Cushing 2009-03-06 09:13:29 UTC

I'd like to note, that the patch currently depends on bug 261381, but doesn't have to. it could be rewritten to work without it.

Please re-open if still interested (and see bug 240187 which tracks general repository support).
