Types Of PRs
- Update of externally-maintained code. These are relatively
easy, so we won't discuss them further.
- Regression detected when updating. These are sometimes
easy to isolate. At least conceptually, we can assign them to
whoever did the offending commit.
- "I can't get XYZ to work". The bugmeisters have started
closing these with a reference to the mailing lists (questions@,
ports@, x11@ ...) on the theory that a PR database just simply isn't
the right forum for these. These are often just cases of trying to
educate a user. In any case, if we can't deal with the more substantive
PRs that we have, we will never get to these.
- "I can't get FreeBSD to run on this machine". We don't
handle these well.
- Poor performance. We don't handle these well.
- Actual bug reports:
- with patches
- without patches
