What happened to my patches to Pixman for image filtering?

Quite some time ago I posted patches to Pixman to fix several bugs in the filter generator and to implement GOOD/BEST filtering. My first set got a response from Søren Sandmann, but I believe I addressed this response in my second series of patches (V5 in this mailing list, and Message-ID: <[email protected]> Have not heard anything since then. I believe it would be much better to patch Pixman than my current support of filters in Cairo. But it is possible the authors disagree. Søren did state that he felt that having GOOD/BEST do anything other than bilinear may be a bad idea, and that callers should use the filter api. However I disagree, primarily because pixman can make numerous optimizations (such as using bilinear for some transformations) because it knows exactly what filter GOOD and BEST produce. Also it is trivial to use BILINEAR if that is what the caller really wants. I also would like to support 2-pass and non-affine transforms but this is going to be considerable work on pixman, so I would like some assurances that patches will be considered so I am not wasting my time. I am sending this only to the cairo list as my previous email all had both the cairo and pixman lists as recipients. I am worried this may have caused people's email filters to put it in the wrong bin and it was never seen. -- cairo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
