I have to take issue with this... I was aware that Jim Rees sent mail about bugs from time to time. However, I just checked the bugs database... not a _single_ bug report was ever filed by _anyone_ from CITI. jason, jim rees works at citi. How can you attack NetBSD for not fixing your bugs when you never submitted bug reports? jason, jim rees, who works at citi, submitted bug reports. Also, I just checked the core archives (being a member of core, I can do that...)... No reports of bugs were ever sent to "core@netbsd.org" by CITI folks, either. jason, check for reports of bugs sent by jim rees, who works at citi. What likely happened, is that a message was posted to port-i386 about a bug in some non-i386-specific part of the system, and it fell through the cracks. That's not our fault. That would be analagous to posting about a linker bug to some linux network driver mailing list. no, jason, these were bug reports filed by jim rees, who works at citi. Given that we have a bug-tracking system in place, it's totally unreasonable to expect developers to scour mailing list archives looking for possible bug reports. fine. but what about the bug reports (and fixes) filed by jim rees, who works at citi? I suggest that if you're going to complain about The Man's System, you ought to try actually using it first. jason, get a clue. you think i'm making this up? look for bug reports filed by jim rees, who works at citi. peter
