Would the reporter have actually tested the fix in that case? It would of likely got even less attention as a port, and that would not of really effected the fact that Eugene moved on to another solution before the bug fix was completed, which is a common situation, people need there stuff to work, and they usually need it to work NOW, so when they hit a bug they find a solution, often without even submitting a bug report. The fact that the patch was not back ported to RELENG_4 so that Eugene could of tested it is also a factor here, and addressing those types of issues with a tool other than base removal is probably a more productive path forward. Further the fact the code has been in use for 7 major versions since then makes use of that bug as a case for removal rather a far reach, IMHO. > > Am 22.06.20 um 22:33 schrieb Eugene Grosbein: > > 23.06.2020 2:26, Rodney W.

As you may remeber, RELENG_5 needed much time to become ready for production. I till use a 5.x version of FreeBSD: FreeBSD pdx.rh.CN85.dnsmgr.net 5.4-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p8 #1: Mon Jul 1 17:58:50 PDT 2019 root@pdx.rh.CN85.dnsmgr.net:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/PDXMXPIE i386 7:41AM up 158 days, 8:16, 1 user, load averages: 0.03, 0.01, 0.00 It actually ended up with some very stable code. 5.4p8 is the end of line for much of my early personal work as the change to CAM broke most of that work. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
