A question related to FreeBSD bug tracking

T

tcn

Hi,

Just wondering if the bug tracking system is kept up to speed with developments. I submitted a bug regarding geli and before I did, I wanted to see if there were a similar bug in the list. Searching for geli brought me bugs in the "open" status since 2005...

tcn.
 
On a slight tangent, I was wondering why GNATS is still around. I submit a steady, occasional amount of patches and always find the PR system to be a real pain to interact with. How do FreeBSD devs feel about GNATS? Has anything else been considered/tried?
 
@aragon:
There is some effort ongoing to replace GNATS, but it will take some time...

@tcn: Please post your error to the PR and ask on #freebsd-bugbusters on EFNet if someone can assign the PR to somebody.
 
lme@,

I am not familiar with this course of action. I will log on IRC and send that request but I am unsure that I will receive any attention...

There is another thing. I can't update the bug myself. I found something that might guide someone to solve the problem but can't do anything about it until someone is assigned and I can send him hints.

I noticed this today. It was scheduled for completion end June - do you know if that happened? Is Mark's prototype online somewhere?
 
Nope, not yet. Mark is still working on it.

Drop Mark a mail I think. I was considering the same a while ago, but life got busy, as usual... :/
