If you are the only one person responsible for all rc stuff, then I understand that you cannot take each of them. I know you are hard working on other FreeBSD parts, so one person is not enough. :( > Regarding your 2 open PRs, the first is a jail thing, and I have no > experience with jails and don't feel competent to comment. I directly asked BZ with jail related PR if he can take it or close it with some denying comment, but again without reply. It is not good that there are old PRs without any response. It tends to duplicate PRs etc. > Your cpu > affinity patch looks interesting, but not enough to take my attention > away from the 34 other things that are currently in my queue. As I wrote above, I understand that one person cannot do it all. There are other persons with similar patches to bring some new features in to rc.subr http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-rc/2010-January/001816.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-rc/2010-March/001877.html > So, please don't take it personally. :) freebsd-rc@ is still the best > place to start a discussion about rc.d-related stuff, but that doesn't > mean that other forums can't be used as well. I tried to start some discussion about that things. I would like to learn more about FreeBSD rc stuff, but it is hard if nobody replied to my proposals / questions [1] / ideas. I also sent some proposal of iSCSI initiator rc script [2]. iSCSI initiator kernel module and userland binaries are in FreeBSD for a long time, but it is "useless" without rc scipt - again, without any response. I would like to write the script right and finish it to the commitable state, but it is hard without support of somebody skilled / without comments and discussion.
