“Another Patch in the File (part 2)” by Port Floyd

很多人管Debian叫「大便」，不过这里我还是宁愿称其为Debian。

今天ld说了Debian的包的一个比较有意思的维护模式，我之前也了解一些，那就是它的stable和unstable包。Stable和Unstable两种。

It seems that arved have a list of blogs which are owned by persons he know. Hmm… Maybe it’s time to have a list of BSDers blog list :-)

It’s available here, in my home directory at freefall: http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/mfc.xml.

Please note that this is an (incomplete) MFC list for sys/ only! I baked it up manually so I don’t guarantee thet there is no mistakes, but I really tried my best to prevent so.

Scott Long, the Release Engineering Team Lead, has announced the “Final MFC Call” which means we must MFC all changes in the next 24 hours. A Release Candidate would be tagged soon (in 1 day) by creating RELENG_5_3 branch.

Accroding to the historical release engineering practice, we will release at least two release candadites. However, the release engineering team thought that we have seven (7) beta releases and we may reduce the need of RC’s to only one.

Matthew Dillon总是给人惊奇，这是一个你没办法不佩服的人。也许他的一些话让有的人感觉不爽，也许他被一些人误解，但他是Matthew Dillon。

在阿鲁等一大票人的帮助下总算搞定了中文输入……总算可以差不多结束Windows下的日子了

Today FreeBSD will have its 5.3-RC1 if there is no other problem occours. I have sent a private mail to Doug Barton about a strange issue I have in BIND9, however, it does seem to be serious enough nor it is clear to determine the impact. I may post it later on a public list.

5.3-RC1 is also the point that I can suggest you to install 5-STABLE instead of 4-STABLE because most of the show-stopping issues are addressed and being corrected.

I finally got beastie.frontfree.net running bind 9.3 (as FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 does, which is chroot’ed by default). While this is accomplished primarily with help of src/UPDATING’s instructions and Doug Barton’s excellent mergemaster(8). BIND stands for “Berkeley Internet Name Daemon” and is the de-facto standard of DNS implementation.

As Murray is moving, David E. O’Brien would be my mentor for the next week. My pending commit queue is on my freefall home directory. Among this, I have patch-handbook_update and patch-cron the first priority. The latter needs more review, though.
