Managing PR’s

Yesterday I commited my patch to conf/97697. Many thanks to ru@ and to Dario Freni for reviewing my patches. I hope this will be an useful feature.

I also fixed amd64/97566 and my commit lead to a discussion on cvs-all@ about where PR are mailed to when they’re committed. ATM PR’s are mailed to default responsible so for amd64/i386/powerpc/alpha/sparc64 and so on they’re mailed to freebsd-amd64/i386,etc and not to freebsd-bugs@. The same happens for other PR’s categories too. Obviously FreeBSD Committers cannot be subscribed to every ML and so it can happen that they don’t see PR’s they care about. This usually happens because PR’s submitters don’t understand what categories mean. By instance, I think 97566 should have been “bin” and not “amd64″. Solution: not found yet, apart from using the web interface to dig in the GNATS database.
