delphij's Chaos

From clive’s.

北欧一座教堂里，
有一尊耶稣被钉在十字架上的苦像，
大小和一般人差不多。
因为有求必应，
因此专程前来这里祈祷，膜拜的人特别多，
几乎可以用门庭若市来形容。

The F5 gateway has became incredibly errornous after they migrated from FreeBSD to Linux, so I call this a bad move.

In the Good Old Time(TM), they run FreeBSD on their boxes, and I have never encounted a single problem when doing everyday work. After they migrate to Linux, they start to inject error packets into your connection and therefore, SSH is broken. This is critical for development, IMHO, and prevented us from being able to work.

In the last month we were busy working to repair the current system at corporation to make sure it would not get worse. Work range from in-depth code review, kernel debugging, to fix data hard disk driver by hand, etc. I am pleased to say that the situation was greatly improved.

Derived from the ancient BSD Unix, *BSD has a set of queue related macros which are described in queue(3), and implemented in src/sys/sys/queue.h. These are primarily used in the kernel, but also useful for userland applications.

The patchset would teach inetd(8) about kqueue, which is originally authored by John-Mark and I have integerated it into the “delphijfork”. Now it was updated to fit 7.0-CURRENT.

不得不承认，很痛快。

伟大的人必有不平凡的少年，郁闷的青年，混乱的中年。当然，他们活不到老年。

想想，颇有几分道理……

Now this server is running:

[delphij@tarsier] ~> uname -a
FreeBSD tarsier.delphij.net 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Wed Nov 2 14:39:40 CST 2005 delphij@tarsier.delphij.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TARSIER i386

最近发现很多公司内部的决策已经为外界知晓，很震惊，更想把内鬼揪出来……

这是一篇几年前的文章，发表地我已经记不清楚了。除了这篇文章对FreeBSD开发模式和如何成为 committer 的介绍之外，我还希望看到这篇文章的人，能够成为国人在 FreeBSD 中的中坚分子，让我们(华人)成为整个项目最重要的一部分。

拥抱FreeBSD

FreeBSD项目的结构

和FreeBSD项目关联的人大体分为三类，即被称为commiter的开发者，由其中9名组成的core team，及其他的贡献于FreeBSD的人们。

commiter是FreeBSD项目的正式开发者，他们拥有对原始码的直接修改权限。现在大约有330名commiter，其中47名在日本。

commiter并不只是自己写代码的人，为别人写的ports做登录，或者写文档等等，还有负责各种分野的commiter存在。core team是从这些commiter中选出来的，共有9人。所有的commiter都有投票权，从候选人中投票选举9人组成core team。在今年6月份进行的选举中，包括笔者在内的9人当选进入了core team，任期为2年。
