Comment 3 for bug 165097

Hi Leann,

I'm happy to hear from you. As far as answering you questions I can only
ask the developer of the patch. I have had some contact with him so this
won't be difficult as long as he responds to email. I must confess that
I don't really understand how the mainlines and streams work. I
understand there is a process to this and for now I must be happy
understanding that much. I wish I knew more about programming but my
strengths are elsewhere.

I'll forward this message to the developer and see if I can get some
answers.

Steve
