This is a good idea and I'll do it right away; but where should I send
it? This one goes to current-users; I don't really feel that
core@netbsd.org is right either. I would appreciate a hint.
I currently have these outstanding PRs:
misc/705 [non-critical/low]: Several Makefiles use -o bin and -g bin
This one seems to be fixed in the Makefiles I reported, but
several makefiles in sys/arch/*/stand now have similar code. These
don't matter so much though. Should be closed.
kern/1145 [serious/low]: umount & df may panic NetBSD
This one is left open/analyzed with this comment:
> proposed fix insufficieint and erroneous. thinking about correct
> locking solution.
> -- cgd
After looking a bit harder I agree my proposed fix was wrong.
How should I follow-up with a new fix proposal?
kern/1659 [non-critical/low]:
TCP connections may be left hanging in FIN_WAIT_2
This one should be a straight apply. No feedback yet.
lib/1695 [serious/high]: varargs.h needs ... for gcc 2.7.x
This one is now fixed (by mycroft; differently but probably
better) and should be closed.
pending/1808 [serious/medium]: lseek errors get bogus return value
This one is fixed; I don't know what "pending" means.
(A vax-specific libc fix really).
misc/1814 [non-critical/low]: /etc/security has various bugs and misfeatures
Fixed in OpenBSD by Theo more thoroughly than in my PR; I would
suggest just dropping in the OpenBSD version.
I hope this helps clear out some clutter; I would also like to say that
the PR database is very useful.
