From linimon at lonesome.com Sat Jun 7 16:44:21 2008 From: linimon at lonesome.com (Mark Linimon) Date: Sat Jun 7 16:44:25 2008 Subject: a new GNATS report, and a new script Message-ID: <20080607164421.GA9800@soaustin.net> As documented on http://people.freebsd.org/~linimon/studies/prs, I have added a page that gathers together the well-known PRs that we keep seeing: http://people.freebsd.org/~linimon/studies/prs/well_known_prs.html This is driven off of a file ~linimon/public_html/wellknown.prs, which includes both commentary and a list of PR numbers. (The commentary is simply copied to the HTML file; any line containing only numerics is magically processed as a PR number). I am hoping that this will be a way for us to do some data-reduction, rather than trying to cross-index PRs. Please feel free to suggest more entries for wellknown.prs! Thanks to pgollucci for the Perl help. Also, per suggestion from keramida, I've added a script to freefall that picks a random PR and displays it: ~gnats/tools/show-random-pr show a random PR for and A companion script, show-random-unassigned-pr, will pick only ones for freebsd-bugs. (Note that show-random-pr patch docs will return no results; it needs work to understand that 'unassigned' is not merely 'freebsd-bugs'). mcl From linimon at lonesome.com Sun Jun 8 22:19:16 2008 From: linimon at lonesome.com (Mark Linimon) Date: Sun Jun 8 22:19:19 2008 Subject: RFC: rework of bugbusting pages on the wiki Message-ID: <20080608221915.GA10516@soaustin.net> I've spent some time bringing the bugbusting pages up to date, and am soliciting review. - The original text from the intro page is now in http://wiki.freebsd.org/BugBusting/StateOfBugbusting. - The new contents of http://wiki.freebsd.org/BugBusting are an index to all the other pages, together with some "start here" text. - http://wiki.freebsd.org/BugBusting/Resources has been completely reorganized by logical groups instead of by where the links appeared. - All of the new prototype GNATS reports are now referenced. - References to both John Baldwin's paper at BSDCan (about advanced kernel debugging) and my own (the state of bugbusting) have been added. mcl From matteo at freebsd.org Mon Jun 9 06:26:50 2008 From: matteo at freebsd.org (Matteo Riondato) Date: Mon Jun 9 06:26:55 2008 Subject: RFC: rework of bugbusting pages on the wiki In-Reply-To: <20080608221915.GA10516@soaustin.net> References: <20080608221915.GA10516@soaustin.net> Message-ID: <20080609061503.GA1554@krapfengeist.dei.unipd.it> On Sun, Jun 08, 2008 at 05:19:15PM -0500, Mark Linimon wrote: > I've spent some time bringing the bugbusting pages up to date, and am > soliciting review. Mark, the quality of those pages is getting better and better. Thanks for your work. I have a question, though: are they well linked from other places so that end users/volunteers discover them easily?

Right now they are only linked from the wiki itself. As they get a little further refined, some of it probably needs to move into one of the articles on the website. mcl From linimon at lonesome.com Sat Jun 14 08:05:36 2008 From: linimon at lonesome.com (Mark Linimon) Date: Sat Jun 14 08:05:43 2008 Subject: new prototype GNATS report page Message-ID: <20080614080535.GA20355@soaustin.net> This one tries to data-mine the PR database for things that are manpage references: e.g. man(1), open(2), stdio(3), fsck(8), and so forth: http://people.freebsd.org/~linimon/studies/prs/pr_manpage_index.html It's inaccurate (e.g., if foo(number) is not the first entry in the manpage entry, no result is returned), but it is a first approximation.

Really damn cool man. :) -- Tom Rhodes From gavin at FreeBSD.org Tue Jun 17 22:42:23 2008 From: gavin at FreeBSD.org (Gavin Atkinson) Date: Tue Jun 17 22:42:27 2008 Subject: Plan for a bugathon this weekend Message-ID: <20080617151314.X82990@ury.york.ac.uk> Hi all, In case you haven't heard, we're holding another bugathon this weekend, 20-22nd June. This time, we will mostly focus on the large numbers of PRs tagged as containing patches, and trying to get them evaluated and possibly committed. I've put together several details of this weekend's plan at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/Bugathons/June2008 We'll be updating this page over the next few days with extra details relevent to this weekend. If you haven't already had a chance to look at all the work Mark Linimon has put into the resources on the wiki, now is a good opportunity to get familiar with the wealth of information available, all linked to from: http://wiki.freebsd.org/BugBusting http://wiki.freebsd.org/BugBusting/Resources Various bugbusters including myself will be around on #freebsd-bugbusters on efnet if you have any questions.

Would some kind soul with the proper authority, please, close "bin/120336", quoting ?http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=141019+0 +/usr/local/www/db/text/2008/freebsd-acpi/20080217.freebsd-acpi as the justification. I should have asked for it long time ago, but now it definitely needs to be done before someone spends any time reviewing attached patch.
