That's what the bug tracker on sourceforge is there for. I admit I
should look at and administrate it more often, but I think it's
useful as an internal to-do list but also as an external
documentation resource for stuff like this.
One may think that fixing this trivial kind of bug takes no more time
than posting the bug and thus if the devels do not have the time to
fix the bug right away, they also don't have time to open a bug
report. I actually think that it's true psychologically, but I would
seriously ask: is it really really true that fixing the bug is
quicker? Given that after the quick change of the source you also
have to do some testing etc. So please just write a two-liner in the
bug tracker and then this will not take another five years to fix.
Sven,
I take your point. However, I've just committed a fix in CVS for the ARMA
case (please test); I guess we ought to do something similar for OLS, but
I'm not quite sure how to proceed. Allin? Ignacio?
