Yes, submit them. It is ok if it takes a while for the new readline to reach our tree. The result can't be worse than our current situation. We don't necessarily have to wait for the upstream maintainer to do a new release. If he accepts the patches we can import 6.2 and keep them, to be deleted when we import the subsequent release. Tom
