I am quite busy with other work at the moment. Notice that I'm not committing sweeping changes to the kernel since I don't have adequate time to test/review them. The only thing I am committing are small MFC's of things that have been well tested. >> > What I want to know is where did you hear other people pointing out >> > that "thread_statclock() has a similar problem"? >> >> I saw a note on IRC in my scrollback (I wasn't present at the time) that >> it might have a similar problem and looked at the code in question along >> with the diff's and annotates of previous versions to verify that it was >> an actual bug. > > OK so what we are saying is that to be a developer we need to be on IRC? > if this is so, then the project should supply an IRC server for > us to use. No, I'm not saying that at all. People have private conversations all the time whether it be on IRC, in private e-mail, or at lunch at the In-N-Out burger in San Ramon, CA. When I saw the mention of a possible bug, I researched it (aka review) and then brought it to your attention. >> > I seem to only be seeing a part of the discussion here.. >> > people keep refering to error reports by people that I have not seen. >> >> These are bugs that you would hopefully be catching if you were reviewing >> the things that get committed with your stamp of approval on them. > > I object to your continual comment that it was committed with my stamp > of aproval. Then don't let people commit things with your stamp on it if it shouldn't be there. If someone was going around forging checks in your name and you didn't do anything to stop it would you just hope that the money didn't leave your checking account? -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
