hi,
We (me and Yves) have talked a bit with ricardo off-list, for us is ok
if ricardo have commit access to the pd_opencv externals.
But, ricardo, remember We prefer to discuss any changes of the existing
code before commiting (specially if it's in the autotools build stuff)
... so, please let's continue using the patch tracker for this things ok?
I promise to be more "effective" on this.
best,
ll.
