In order to help get the # of open PR's down, I'm going to take the
time to update the status of my open PR. Some should just be closed,
and I hope that others get some action taken. I've tried to sort them
in order of increasing work for the committer.

	<mike


ports/23410  obrien   [PATCH] FreeBSD throws away information on failed #! execs; this
ports/19457  vanilla  The gimp port has /usr/local/bin hardwired in as the path to lib

Both fixed, and can be closed.


conf/21722            The mixer settings are lost on system reboot.

This should probably be closed due to the work being done on the
NetBSD rc system. The same functionality can be provided as a port,
which is probably better anyway. I'll do that if this one gets closed.


kern/25266   chris    fdesc file system in -STABLE locks up during nightly builds

Fixed in -current, awaiting decision as to whether or not it should be
MFC'ed. If it's not going to be MFC'ed, it should be
closed. Hopefully, fdesc will be taken out of stable at about that
time as well.


misc/30281            [PATCH] ports/INDEX in the cvs repository is out of date

Murray seemed to like this, but was awaiting feedback from others
before commiting it.


bin/30908             [PATCH] Tweak ldd to provide more information if requested

No action yet. It's a pretty straightforward thing, with little
impact, and makes finding where missing libraries are being included
in a complex application *much* easier.


ports/19456  chuckr   the sp port is hardwired to install it's binaries in /usr/local/

Still broken, no response. This port includes a patch, even though I
didn't know to note that in the description line when I submitted it.


misc/21715            The freebsd mail list digifier loses MIME headers.

No action at all. I've asked a couple of times for information on
getting the source to software that runs on the FreeBSD servers that's
not part of the base system or ports so I could submit patches for
things like this. No one has responded.


docs/28555   doc      [PATCH] style(9) isn't explicit about booleans for testing.

Should be reviewed by people on -hackers, and commited if nobody
objects.


ports/31038  ports    [PATCH] ratpoison port is out of date.

This isn't a maintainer update becuase the previous maintainer no
longer uses FreeBSD. I'm willing to take that on, as I am now using
ratpoison regularly.


ports/30007  ports    [NEW PORT] of Gary Pearlman's unix|stat software

*sigh*.


docs/27843   alex     [PATCH] make.conf WITH_* variables aren't documented.

Suspended pending further work by alex.


docs/29807   dd       [PATCH] XFREE86_VERSION is undocumented

Awaiting feedback from me. That might take a while, so if you feel
like incorporating Dima's suggestions and committing it, that would be
great.
