You'll find that there are people even more qualified to criticise the way the PR database is handled, namely the volunteers who handle it. For example, check this out... ;-) You're quite right. Your PR could definitely have been closed with a message better geared toward putting you at ease. Now... All we can really offer you as consolation is that there are lots of PRs and not as many people working on them. So if we can at least limit the database to one PR per problem, the folks doing the work of tackling problems are more likely to find their investment of time paying wortwhile dividends. So please try to be understanding of the volunteers who do what they can to ensure that FreeBSD works as well as possible for as many people as possible. Even when we make mistakes while doing so. :-) Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
