:This has nothing to do with my workload or that of anyone else. I have no
:problem with changes going into current or stable to fix deficiencies in
:the current SCSI system. What I don't want to see is new functionality
:committed at roughly the same time to the system in different branches that
:have different user interfaces ("mt comp" with different arguments or
:behavior, "chio" providing different volume tag semantics).
I didn't commit any chio stuff. And the 'mt comp' fixes in the kernel
were just that: Bug fixes. The code that was already in the kernel
didn't work. Considering that I only had to make half a dozen extremely
minor adjustments to one file, I would call that a 'bug fix'. Did you
even look at the diff's? They are so minor they aren't even worth arguing
over!
:Matt's been sitting on these changes for months. I don't understand the
:urgency that required them to be committed tonight before addressing what
:I consider valid issues. Why did Matt even bother to ask to have the
:changes reviewed?
I have to work on FreeBSD where time permits. Jordan gave me commit
privs a long while back and an account on freefall even further back,
and I didn't have time to mess with any of it until very recently. I'll
try to be P.C., but I have a cartload of stuff that needs to go in before
3.0 gets frozen and I only have a small percentage of my time available
to do it.
