Hi Jaap,

thanks for the remarks! Till now I wasn't delivering many patches of
that extend.

I cleaned things up a little bit:
1. Don't know why I sent a tar.gz guess my brain I had
  an interrupt while I was compressing the file :-)
2. I didn't see Anders Borman updated packet-tipc.c.
  We discussed making the info column more conceise
  but I understood he wouln't go to change something in
  the near future. I adapted my code to Anders' version
  and the patch does now apply to to current version in svn.
3. I divided the patch in 2 parts:
 a. packet-tipc-svn-ignorews.patch.gz
    Here are the actual changes to the code.
    Explanation below!
 b. packet-tipc-patched-whitespaces.patch.gz
    Here are whitespaces removed/added.
    This is applied after a!

Hi Martin,

Some remarks:
1. The attachement was a actually a tar.gz
2. It's a BIG patch
3. It doesn't apply cleanly to the HEAD

so, if you could:
1. send a 2 patch set, with
a. protocol changes relative to HEAD first, for easier review
b. cleanup changes to patched HEAD second.
2. also cleanup the end of the initializers, the last element shall not
have a trailing comma.

Thanx,
Jaap
