Must Resolve Issues for 5.1-RELEASE +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Issue | Status | Responsible | Description | |------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------------------| | | | | There are reports of | | ipfw/ipfw2 | | | alignment problems with | | alignment issues | In progress | Luigi Rizzo | ipfw and/or ipfw2 on | | on alpha/sparc64 | | | 64-bit platforms | | | | | (specifically alpha and | | | | | sparc64). | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Desired Features for 5.1-RELEASE +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Issue | Status | Responsible | Description | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Documentation items that must be resolved for 5.1 +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Issue | Status | Responsible | Description | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Areas requiring immediate testing +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Issue | Status | Responsible | Description | |-------------------+--------+---------------+---------------------------| | | | | The 20030228 vendor | | Fresh ACPI-CA | -- | -- | sources have been | | import | | | imported. Further testing | | | | | is appreciated. | |-------------------+--------+---------------+---------------------------| | | | | PAE support allows the | | | | | use of up to 64GB of RAM | | PAE support for | -- | -- | on Pentium Pro and above | | i386 | | | systems. Virtual | | | | | addresses are still | | | | | constrained to 32-bits. | |-------------------+--------+---------------+---------------------------| | | | | The recently upgraded | | | | | if_wi driver is more | | | | | tuned to Prism hardware | | | | | than to Lucent hardware, | | if_wi problems on | | | resulting in system | | Lucent hardware | -- | -- | lockups and poor | | | | | performance when using | | | | | Lucent hardware. These | | | | | problems are believed to | | | | | be fixed but more testing | | | | | is welcome. | |-------------------+--------+---------------+---------------------------| | | | | For 5.1-RELEASE, the | | | | | default file system type | | | | | for newly created file | | | | | systems is UFS2 rather | | UFS2 as | | | than UFS1. newfs(8) and | | installation, | -- | Robert Watson | sysinstall(8) have been | | newfs default | | | updated to use this new | | | | | default. Testing to make | | | | | sure all goes well after | | | | | the change (committed on | | | | | April 20, 2003) is vital. | |-------------------+--------+---------------+---------------------------| | | | | Support for pluggable | | | | | directory services using | | | | | NSS, including | | | | | adaptations of current | | | | Jacques | directory services (local | | NSSwitch support | -- | Vidrine | databases, NIS), and | | | | | support for new services | | | | | (LDAP, Active Directory, | | | | | etc). This change has | | | | | been committed, and | | | | | requires broader testing. | |-------------------+--------+---------------+---------------------------| | | | | Kris Kennaway reports | | | | | that he has seen several | | | | | unique panics on the | | Spurious alpha | | | alpha machines, but since | | panics | -- | -- | gdb -k doesn't work on | | | | | alpha I haven't been able | | | | | to get more than a DDB | | | | | traceback. No-one has | | | | | looked into them. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- freebsd-qa@FreeBSD.ORG Copyright (c) 1995-2003 The FreeBSD Project.
