Well, said developer could post a notice saying, 'Hey, this has been in -current for X time, who wants to test and possibly MFC?' > [On a little further reflection, I don't know how politically > acceptable your idea is, either... It could be viewed as rather > intrusive.] Well, my view of it was for it to be something done on an individual basis, not across the board. I vaguely recall some way in CVS to run a program on every commit (not the commitinfo file, a way on a per-user basis), or you could just manually run a quick script after you commit if if's a -stable candidate. No, it's certainly not a perfect system, and it's not meant to be, but it's an easy way to remind yourself individually and refresh your memory. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ FutureSouth Communications | ISPHelp ISP Consulting "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
