https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D237544 --- Comment #10 from Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Emmanuel Vadot from comment #9) > Also I don't see why we should give the possibility to users to install > old drivers Because with every Linux version bump (4.11 -> 4.16 -> 5.4) come not only f= ixes and better support, but also various regressions. > instead we should fix bugs in newer version if one have a problem, > something that I and others do regularly based on reports. Ideally yes, but bugs arrive at a higher rate than fixes, unfortunately. > It's also using the radeonkms driver which have more or less been abandon= ware > upstream I can't care less for its status so long as it delivers and works perfectly= .=20 On a larger scale, I've noticed that often abandonware means lack of proble= ms, while supported means "prepare for a bump ride". Go figure! :) > Did you open a PR here or on the github page for drm-kmod? We had discussed that in a different email, I will once I have concrete reproducible results with at least some preliminary analysis (e.g., revisio= n or approximate date of regression). Vague reports are likely to be closed as overcome by events. > This kind of comment is really hurtful, demotivating and simply mean. I'm sorry, but I think you got me wrong. I appreciate the work you guys put into this shit, esp. given the limited resources we have, but with Linux be= ing our upstream, it should not come as a surprise as Linux is known for its mediocre quality. I mean, it's most likely not your fault in the first pla= ce, but what we're being fed. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
