Hi Arnout,
TP explicitly asked to submit yp-tools and ypbind-mt in separate
submissions.
It is not clear to me how to submit a patch that depends on another
pending patch having been applied. The possibilities that I see are:
1. Patch against the current origin and ignore the fact that there is a
dependency on the yp-tools patch having been applied
2. Provide the same line added by the patch for yp-tools as part of this
patch. That is, the ypbind-mt patch would add two lines to
package/Config.in.
3. Provide a patch for ypbind-mt that assumes that the patch for yp-tools
has already been applied to the origin.
What is the correct decision?
