The best is to fill a PR, because is most likely won't be lost in the noise or forgotten and it will keep the history of an entire problem. But there are other means, for example, the problem David was referred to was fixed as the result of the IRC chat with Maxim, as said in the commit message http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-ports/2011-January/210424.html IRC/Jabber/e-mail is likely the best for the simple problems, but if they aren't addressed quickly -- open the PR. The definition of "quickly" is rather vague and left for the originator's discretion ;)) > What I can't get a feel for is how long it actually takes to process > a PR. It obviously depends on a PR's content, the people who're on the loop, the time period (ports freeze, etc) and so on. I had seen PRs that were closed in tenth of minutes and I had seen PRs that stay in the queue for years. Everything depends on the specifics of the problem and the people who are involved in the loop. --=20 Eygene Ryabinkin ,,,^..^,,, [ Life's unfair - but root password helps! | codelabs.ru ] [ 82FE 06BC D497 C0DE 49EC 4FF0 16AF 9EAE 8152 ECFB | freebsd.org ] --q8dntDJTu318bll0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (FreeBSD) iF4EAREIAAYFAk0y49EACgkQFq+eroFS7PsLmwD+L4QBJG+jP8BKL5rm9gpUOvzh Kv5EpsBClAhPXvIr1c8BAIBIFC2P0fXsMnWcLZKN81v0plBT+Fw6EpzE+MHcnzOc =iB1A -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --q8dntDJTu318bll0--
