Current FreeBSD problem reports
The following is a listing of current problems submitted by FreeBSD users.
These represent problem reports covering all versions fo FreeBSD including
experimental development code and obsolete releases.
Bugs can be in one of several states:
open
A problem report has been submitted, no sanity checking performed
analyzed
The report has been examined by a team member and evaluated
feedback
The problem has been solved, and the originator has been given a
patch or a fix has been committed. The PR remains in this state
pending a response from the originator.
suspended
Work on the problem has been postponsed. This happens if a
timely solution is not possible or is not cost-effective at
the present time. The PR continues to exist, though a solution
is not being actively sought. If the problem cannot be solved at all,
it will be closed, rather than suspended.
closed
A problem report is closed when any changes have been integrated,
documented, and tested.
