Please create a tracker on joomlacode, reference here and explain the issue with testing instructions.

Seriously?

Openness fail

"please user 45 differents tools before submiting some fix to our apps, 'cause time wasted to patch our code is not enough. Cheers" #sarcasm

I'm not a Joomla expert, but testing this might prove a tad difficult...

I don't what it has to do with openness since the process and the fact that the tracker not git hub is the point of truth for issues is documented in a million places. The way you test manually is to apply it and make sure that nothing changes, which obviously will be true in this case since this is just a code quality fix. Also the pull would need to be revised since it includes a platform change unless you've sent that change already to the platform repo.

PHP.

I would say that THIS is the right case to choose pragmatism over process...

rly? lol!

It would be really helpful if you could submit the fix for libraries/joomla/database/driver/pdo.php to joomla/joomla-platform. We treat the platform like an upstream library and we'll pick up the fix with the next merge. The platform accepts pull requests BTW ;)

@realityking done in joomla/joomla-platform#1378

Thanks. I added tiny comment, just waiting for the unit tests to pass (http://developer.joomla.org/pulls/) and I'll merge it.
