This is the main reason I gave up reviewing patches. > In the case of *reviewing patches* can you give some examples of: 1. Some patches from others you reviewed? 2. The steps you went through to undertake that review? If for example, you started to review a simple update to a package how do you aproach it? It would be great to hear directly from someone doing 'reviewing' on the specifics. Apologies, if this is going over old ground. Thanks, Steve
