<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>> Have you tested this on Windows or any non-Linux platform?<br>...<br>...<br>> Please check with all other platforms than Linux.. There was a reason<br>> for me adding that check, but it was a long time ago, so I don't<br>> remember the details. Like I said, this most certainly must not be<br>> removed as part of a cleanup patch.<br><br>> The main reason for adding the UDP backend was to work on Windows. Named<br>> pipe version came after that and named pipes were not available on all<br>> Windows versions (e.g., WinCE, if I remember correctly). In other words,<br>> I'm not going to be accepting significant UDP control interface changes<br>> unless they have been verified to work on various platforms like WinCE.<br><br>If you don't mind me asking ... who has asked you to start removing code at random? <br>Are you developer/tester for this project? There's plenty of code which needs refactoring.<br>Take, for instance, edit_readline.c file, it doesn't work on some platforms. To my mind,<br>improving existing source code has more priority than removing 'still in use' code!. <br>Secondly, it is a good practice to ask people around before getting rid of functionality.<br><br>Should you require further assistance, do not hesitate to contact me off list.<br><br>Ciao.<br><br> </div></body>
