If you fix a bug that's in the database please close the report. It's not the core team's job to keep the gnats database in line with fixes. Everyone with cvs access needs to go and read the gnats manpages, particularly edit-pr and do this job themselves when they fix things. Also, if you're in charge of a particular area of code then when you fix problems see if there was a report filed against it using query-pr and change it's status accordingly. Core members are mainly at fault here since generally they're the ones who "own" bits. I'm *not* going to write a tutorial on using gnats since all the documentation already exists and people with cvs access should be more than capable of reading man pages. If you have specific issues to raise *AFTER* doing some work yourself then I'll gladly help out. The info pages are installed on freefall, try 'info -f gnats', you might need to setenv INFOPATH /usr/local/info first. The sources are in ~paul/gnats-3.2 so you can even print out your own copy if you want. -- Paul Richards, FreeBSD core team member. Phone: +44 1222 874000 x6646 (work), +44 1222 457651 (home) Dept.
