There are a few already in there, to which I have tried to add the text '(regression)' into the Synopsis. If you feel that you are currently in this situation, and you have only posted to the mailing lists, may I ask you to take a few minutes to make sure that there is already a PR in GNATS that addresses it, and, if not, add one? We are not looking to collect N different copies of the same problem, mind you; and, we are looking for very particular things where we know that it worked in 5.4 or 5-STABLE but for some reason no longer works. (In particular, we are looking for regressions in agp, acpi, nfs, and the like). You can view the PRs that have been already submitted from a 6.X box using the following URL: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi?release=%5EFreeBSD+6 [note: to try to keep the meta-discussion down, I've set the Reply-To to be bugmaster.] Thanks, Mark Linimon bugmaster@FreeBSD.org
