The following reply was made to PR misc/4028; it has been noted by GNATS. From: hoek@hwcn.org To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, fenner@parc.xerox.com Cc: Subject: Re: misc/4028 : GNATS auto-magically re-opened14prs Date: Mon, 14 Jul 1997 17:45:21 -0400 (EDT) > >There are 14 problem-reports which were closed at some point in the >past but, at some point, I believe within the last month, they lost >all of their audit-trail and their state switched to never. After examining the freebsd-bugs archive, I can say a couple more things. 1) The bracket during which they re-opened can be definitively placed somewhere between June 2 and June 30, inclusive. 2) I had suggested Joerg Wunsch that the audit-trail could be (relatively) easily reconstructed from the freebsd-bugs mailing archive. That was a lie. There does not appear to be any mention of the listed prs in the archive (except for Bill Fenner closing some and for their mention in this pr). ie. The original pr and subsequent open-close message was either not posted to freebsd-bugs (for whatever reason) or they were posted, but not archived (for some reason). (I will not that I could not search the whole freebsd-bugs archive, since that thing is very difficult to ftp (it's not even gzipped!). From byte ~29900000 to 30000000 have not been checked by me. Checking this is left as an exercise to the reader with easier access to the mail archives (actually this whole thing should've been left as such...)). From 7:40 to 18:06 on April 30, no messages are archived in freebsd-bugs. Perhaps the prs were closed quickly and perhaps the freebsd-bugs archive was unwritable for a short period (this _was_ during the hub-freefall transition) and that is perhaps why there isn't even an open-closed state-change message for them.
