Re: [Libcdio-devel] [PATCH] Remove unnecessary high-memory safe wrapper for DosDevIOCtl() on OS/2

[Rocky Bernstein]

Let's hold off applying the patches until

1. the FSF papers have gone through. (Have they?)
2. you have a server set up that I can access this and can
    compile and test the code.

You have yet to give a reason as to why this can't be maintained as
a separate repository.

Others reading libcdio devel: is there anyone interested in seeing libcdio
continue
on OS/2 and is willing to spend time on it?
