The current structure of problem report submitting and e-mails about current problems may be modified to reduce the tasks to be performed even for slightly. On the problem report submitting page , http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html the following fields may be added to make it more structured and to be able to generate e-mails to maintainers directly : Remove field Category . Add the following fields : FreeBSD Version : ( Selected from a drop-down list like Category ) FreeBSD Architecture : ( Selected from list ... ) Related to ( Radio Button ) Base : Program Name : ... in Directory : ... --------------------------------------------------------- Port : Port Name in .../Latest/ Directory : ... Port Version : If there is a working version in another operating system Name : ... operating system Version : ... Port Name : ... Port Version : ... Source Repository URL : --------------------------------------------------------- Into Class field : Add item : Feature Suggestion . Under the box "How to repeat the problem" , add Which tests are applied : add Testing software available : add Testing Software URL : With the above structure , it is possible . to generate e-mails to maintainers automatically , . to eliminate problem reports when operating system or port version numbers of the respective ports changes by moving them to an archive . Problem report query page http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi?query may be adapted accordingly . ........................................................... In e-mails , a more structured listing will be helpful : PR FreeBSD FreeBSD Port Port Number Version Architecture Name Version Description ----------- ------------- ------------------ --------- ---------- ----------------- In the present system , mentioning only the category with vague descriptions causes difficulty to understand structure of the problem , at least for persons foreigner to port maintenance . Also , supplying a link to problem report numbers during generation of e-mails automatically makes them easily accessible . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
