Keywords: time,school,need a life! Sender: usenet@coe.montana.edu (USENET News System) Organization: Montana State University Date: Thu, 10 Dec 1992 17:33:51 GMT Lines: 37 Here's the situation. I don't feel that I have done a very good job of keeping up the Bug Report and the Patchkit lately. Next semester is going to be worse, and I'm losing my network access on my 386BSD machine. Soooo, Does anyone in 386BSD land want to take over the Bug List co-ordination? I have been trying to put out another version of the patchkit, but because of lack of time and trying to re-format the old patchkit, I haven't added many patches. (I have LOTS of them, and more are coming every day) Someone who has more time than me needs to take over the co-ordination if this is going to be kept up to date. I don't mind doing it, but there is no way that I can stay afloat next year and still get the extra work done keeping everything up to date. Next, now that the patchkit fixes most bugs that everyone has, should the Bug Report be discontinued? Are the explanation's in the seperate patches good enough for people to know what has/hasn't been fixed? When I give this thing up, should the next person only have to work on the Patchkit, instead of doing both? The reason I am asking is because both of these projects are pretty intertwined, so having two people working on them would require alot of co-ordination, since they are both looking at bugs/fixes to 386BSD. (One is the fix, the other is the explanation) I guess that's it for now. Respond via news or email, whatever you feel is appropriate, Thanks, Nate -- osynw@terra.oscs.montana.edu | A hacker w/out a home. work: (406) 994-5991 | Keeper of the Unofficial 386BSD Bug Report home: (406) 586-0579 | Please send bugs and/or fixes you find.
