I thought of this as part of my efforts to make the Bulgarian locale/charmaps/fonts/keymaps as visible as possible in 4.5-RELEASE, and I found that the fonts menu in -CURRENT already has IBM 1251. While we're here, are the font designations in the menu really the best ones? If we should go by the WG15 definitions at ftp://std.dkuug.dk/, which Andrey Chernov (CC'd) pointed out to me in the audit trail of a PR discussiong Bulgarian locale definitions, then some of those fonts might have to change to a 'CP' prefix. On the other hand, other charmaps do not have a 'CP' prefix, and for them the 'IBM' prefix might be best; all of this might lead to a mess of 'CP' and 'IBM' font names, so maybe things should be left just as they are right now :) So.. any comments? Should the fonts menu be MFC'd just as it is, or should any font names be changed? G'luck, Peter -- If this sentence were in Chinese, it would say something else.

Hey John, can you explain to us what kind of machines this will fix? How many machines have you tested this on? We should have Chern do some more testing of this stuff while we still have access to the WRS hardware. - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-qa Thu Dec 20 12:16:22 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-qa@freebsd.org Received: from mail11.speakeasy.net (mail11.speakeasy.net [216.254.0.211]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3C00F37B416 for ; Thu, 20 Dec 2001 12:16:20 -0800 (PST) Received: (qmail 25490 invoked from network); 20 Dec 2001 20:16:19 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO laptop.baldwin.cx) ([64.81.54.73]) (envelope-sender ) by mail11.speakeasy.net (qmail-ldap-1.03) with SMTP for ; 20 Dec 2001 20:16:19 -0000 Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.4.0 on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <20011220033504.K27392@windriver.com> Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2001 12:16:02 -0800 (PST) From: John Baldwin To: Murray Stokely Subject: Re: Should we test cdboot on 4.5 RC's?

There are some BIOSen that don't grok the 2.88 MB images, although they might not support no emulation booting as well. However, NT4 and later require no emulation booting so this should work ok on most machines. The biggest thing this changes is that it makes the setup of CD booting cleaner. It also allows us to use a full GENERIC kernel during install, instead of having to trim certain drivers from the mix so that the kernel fits on a floppy. This means that a CD install support more drivers out of the box. > - Murray -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-qa Thu Dec 20 15:51:31 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-qa@freebsd.org Received: from mao.stokely.org (mao.stokely.org [65.84.64.228]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2912A37B41B for ; Thu, 20 Dec 2001 15:49:53 -0800 (PST) Received: by mao.stokely.org (Postfix, from userid 2074) id 797404B661; Thu, 20 Dec 2001 15:49:47 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2001 15:49:47 -0800 From: Murray Stokely To: freebsd-qa@FreeBSD.org Subject: Commercial Software Demos for FreeBSD Disc 2?

I may be able to set up a local testbed here, but it would help to have a few more hints about the potential problem. What features of dummynet are they using? Just the basic bandwidth/plr components, or other features such as the various queueing algorithms? Does the problem show up under high load, or under low level use? Because I'm not sure I have the hardware locally to do this for a week or two (now WFH for the next two weeks), I'd appreciate it if others could also give this a spin. Also, if there's any particular information on the panic, it would be worth running it by Luigi to see if he has any insight into the problem.

I had hoped to provide a list of changes that have happened in the system recently to encourage the readers of -stable and -qa to help with some of the quality assurance for the upcoming release. There were some problems with the network performance of FreeBSD 4.4 that were never discovered during the release candidates phase, so I'd like to take a more pro-active role in getting users to test the system in more demanding environments. A complete list of changes is available in the 4.5-PRERELEASE release notes, available at : http://people.freebsd.org/~bmah/relnotes/ In particular, a number of NFS and VM bug fixes have been committed to -STABLE in the past week. A number of significant bug-fixes and enhancements have recently been made to our networking stack as well. More than anything, we just need more users to run 4.5-PRERELEASE and the upcoming release candidates and report any performance or stability problems. Please help us make FreeBSD 4.5 our best performing release ever!

Below, I describe changes in 4.5-PRERELEASE that we feel merit the most attention due to their involving substantial changes to the system, or having arrived late in the development cycle leading up to the release. In general, our goal in the QA process is to attempt to check a number of things: (1) The system has not regressed with respects to stability, correctness, interoperability, or performance of features present in prior releases. (2) New features result in the desired improvement in stability, correctness, interoperability, or performance. To effectively determine this, it's desirable to test the system in a diverse set of environments, applying a wide set of workloads, forcing the system to operate both within and outside its normal specification. Particular focus should often be placed on the continuing (or new) capability of the system to perform correctly when used in concert with systems from other vendors. Features to explore carefully: (1) Recent TCP changes, especially relating to the delayed ACK fix, congestion response, syncache, syncookies, increased socket buffer sizes, et al. We're interested in testing interoperability with as many platforms as possible, demonstrating continued strong (and better) scalability and performance, and watching out for quirks (connection stalls, ...), not to mention crashes. Jonathan Lemon was responding to a panic report on freebsd-current earlier today regarding a PCB call, which is something we should keep an eye on. On the other hand, Y! is now deploying this code, and that should help test it a great deal. (2) VFS/VM/NFS fixes. We need to continue to test performance, correctness, and interoperability. In particular, I'd like to see a lot of inter-platform performance testing (FreeBSD->Solaris, vice versa, etc). We'd also like careful investigation of low-memory situations. (3) FFS fixes. We had some reports of deadlocks in FFS; it sounds like Matt Dillon has caught most of them, but combinations I'd particular like to see tested involve Quotas, Chroot, and NFS, under load, and involving memory mapping and heavy directory operations. (4) NTP 4.1. This is probably reasonable safe, but it doesn't hurt to do interop testing, especially on Alpha. (5) SMBfs. We need stability testing, mostly, I suspect. Performance is probably not a large focus. While SMBfs support has been available on -STABLE through a port previously, determining that the integration with the base system (especially the boot process) was done correctly is important. Attempting to use SMBfs in /etc/fstab in a diskless environment might be one thing to explore, for example. (6) Once the man page change goes in (which I think it should) we'll want some basic testing of the man command. (7) cdboot. Late in the release cycle, a new implementation of the CD-based boot loader was introduced. This should generally improve support for booting or installing from CD, but this change requires testing on a variety of architectures and devices. The release notes will always be a good place to look for things to test. There are a number of new drivers, including if_em, which would probably benefit from more exposure. Please report bugs to the qa@FreeBSD.org list, and/or via send-pr with a heads up to the qa list.

We'll certainly have a well polished ISO by the 5th for the first release candidate. It's still not clear what the best solution is to make the kernel fit again. Ian Dowse has some NFS patches to remove some bloat, we have a patch to use bzip2 for the kernel and modules, and we have John's new cdboot stuff. At least one of these solutions should be applied this weekend so that we can at least get buildable snapshots again. - Murray --yrj/dFKFPuw6o+aM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (SunOS) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8JN6ZtNcQog5FH30RAkSQAKCVYj9RfimjeGukRpI1DTt8KM72+gCfTe2J qS/bN6KwhwAjvthoAClnE2U= =x+q0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --yrj/dFKFPuw6o+aM-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
