ReiserFS3.6 has been ported to FreeBSD!

| Kernel

Jean-Sébastien Pédron [jspedron club-internet.fr] has announced that he has ported ReiserFS 3.6 (from kernel 2.6.7) to FreeBSD (with only Read-Only support this time).

Scott Long suggests to import these to base because 6-CURRENT will have a focus on the file system. I suggested that we have a directory under somewhere in the src/ tree to keep these Linux bits so we can backport their fixes more easily and it should be better for us to rip these things out when we have re-written something from scratch.

不按RFC走?那你必然会遇到麻烦

| Security

RFC也许有时让人觉得过分冗长,但是如果你没有耐心去完全实现它,它就会在不经意间突然咬你一口。

可怜的端木就被咬了……

今天这家伙发了一封邮件给我。

嗯?3.5分?

Two PRs and an ongoing patch

| Development

ZHAO Xin (a colleague of mine) has pointed out that GNOME Simplified Chinese does not did a good work when displaying time. He then filed ports/72722 and ports/72723.

Adam Weinberger (adamw@, one of the major FreeBSD GNOME maintainers) has then pointed out that it might be better to contact the Simplified Chinese Translation team. In a private mail, I have explained that the root cause of the issue, however, is that our libc implementation does not implemented the GNU Extensions, say, the -_^0 extensions of strftime(3). Adam have then kindly approved that the patches should be committed, and we should have a long-run solution then finally remove them.

Investigating 5.3-RC1 panic

| Development

Before reporting this to the list, I would first gather enough information.

Alu’s server boxes is suffering in continued reboot when server is loaded. Because he is supporting FreeBSD by utilizing 5.3-RC1 in his production environment (and it’s moderately loaded as it is connected to the ChinaNet Backbone), and donated many devices for dedicated services of the FreeBSD China Community, I think we must help him to solve these out.

I have plugged a new kernel configuration on his box in order to obtain a (potential) crashdump and figure out what is happening. Maybe we will get it tomorrow.
