Current FreeBSD problem reports
The following is a listing of current problems submitted by FreeBSD users. These represent problem reports covering all versions including experimental development code and obsolete releases.
Bugs can be in one of several states:
- o - open
- A problem report has been submitted, no sanity checking
performed.
- a - analyzed
- The problem is understood and a solution is being sought.
- f - feedback
- Further work requires additional information from the originator
or the community - possibly confirmation of the effectiveness of a
proposed solution.
- p - patched
- A patch has been committed, but some issues (MFC and / or
confirmation from originator) are still open.
- r - repocopy
- The resolution of the problem report is dependent on a repocopy
operation within the CVS repository which is awaiting completion.
- s - suspended
- The problem is not being worked on, due to lack of information or
resources. This is a prime candidate for somebody who is looking for a
project to do. If the problem cannot be solved at all, it will be
closed, rather than suspended.
- c - closed
- A problem report is closed when any changes have been integrated,
documented, and tested -- or when fixing the problem is abandoned.
You may view summaries by Severity, State, Category, or Responsible Party.You may also sort by Last-Modified, Category, or Responsible Party.
Or formulate a specific query.
