Re: [ft-devel] Upstreaming freetype diagnostics patches

[Hin-Tak Leung]

a couple of things.

- the symbol export list needs to be optional also. (conditional on a configure 
flag or something)

- in general, if you want to upstream something to freetype, you should be 
willing and happy to patch your own system-wide freetype on it,
and break your own system, before you ask people to risk breaking theirs'... 
and wait for a few days to see if your own computer is still working fine. You 
would have discovered the issue about the taboo of not updating FT_Face in that 
manner. i.e. you should do some testing, before and instead of, asking people 
to test your patch for you.
