[FreeBSD-Announce] Virtual Bug Squash, Saturday 11th July 1400-2100UTC
From Tom Jones@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jun 30 06:00:00 2020
Hello Everyone,
On the 11th July 2020 from 1400-2100 UTC we will be running a coordinated virtual Bug Squash. FreeBSD has a Problem Report (PR) database[1] where users and developers are encouraged to file issues and regressions they find in both the base system and ports tree.
A Bug Squash is a focused session where we try to triage, process, fix and close as many reports as we can from the PR database. This July 11th Bug Squash we will focus on closing as many PRs with patches as we can, some rationale for this is written up here[4].
While we do process and close issues there are a large number of PRs with patches attached that should be processed. At the time of writing there are:
- all base system PRs with patches (639)[2]
- all base system PRs with patches, but assigned to no one (277)[3]
We will host a google meet at the start of the Bug Squash to provide an introduction to the process and will use the #freebsd-bugs irc channel on freenode to coordinate work, triage and discuss PRs and patches.
