(Get the code!)
Diego, thanks for the attached patches. asac is on vacation, so I'll attempt to field this one for now...
In order for your patches to land in Hardy 8.04, they'd have to be released via the SRU process:
https:/
I'm not saying it's impossible to land your changes as an SRU, but as your patches contain changes to both NetworkManager and the applet, they may be seen as risky.
Also the patches as attached would need to be re-factored to separate out changes to the files in the debian directory, and to utilize the correct patch system ( eg. quilt for NetworkManager ).
Ideally, the best place for your changes to land would be the current release under development ( Karmic ), which unfortunately is about to hit FeatureFreeze ( tomorrow ).
Since what you've really done is add a new feature which adds missing functionality, another possibility would be to try and work directly with upstream to get your patches integrated into NM 0.8 which is currently under development. If done in a timely manner, there's potential that your changes could land in Karmic, as we may continue to pull upstream snapshots of NM 0.8 and the VPN plugins as we try and finalize the release.
You can contact the upstream developers, and myself and asac on #nm on the Ubuntu IRC server.
Here are the URLs for the upstream git trees for NM, the applet, and the vpn plugins:
git://anongit.
git://git.
git://git.
git://git.
git://git.
asac may have a different opinion, so you might want to try and touch base with him next week when he returns from vacation, but I think the upstream approach may be the best way to go.
