We always recommend using the role address since that ensures that everyone stays in the loop, but that of course does not stop someone from noting the existence of https://www.freebsd.org/administration.html I am quite overbooked at the moment, so unfortunately I cannot take on the role of advocating for this change, myself. -Ben On Sun, Jan 29, 2017 at 01:07:02PM +0000, Meny Yossefi wrote: > Thanks Ben. > > I got no response from re@Freebsd. > > Is there a specific person you can refer me to? > > -Meny > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Benjamin Kaduk [mailto:kaduk@mit.edu] > Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2017 11:42 PM > To: Meny Yossefi > Cc: doc@FreeBSD.org; Hans Petter Selasky ; re@FreeBSD.org > Subject: Re: Mellanox as an HW vendor in FreeBSD 9.x (and above) HW notes > > On Sun, Jan 15, 2017 at 03:38:06PM +0000, Meny Yossefi wrote: > > Hi, > > > > My name is Meny and I'm leading Mellanox's FreeBSD team these days, developing Ethernet and InfiniBand drivers for our ConnectX NICs. > > > > We came across the FreeBSD 11.0 hardware notes and found that we were not included in the list although we have an Ethernet and InfiniBand driver since FreeBSD 9.1. > > > > https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.0R/relnotes.html > > > > > > Can you please let me know what is the procedure for adding us as a vendor? > > As I understand it, the hardware notes are generated automatically via certain portions of certain manual pages. > > It looks like that takes the form of &hwlist.; entities in > (e.g.) ^/base/head/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/hardware/article.xml, with the hwlist entities being generated by ^/base/head/release/doc/share/misc/man2hwnotes.pl. I don't know offhand whether mlx5en.4 is formatted properly for that script, but it seems that at a minimum, the &hwlist.mlx5en; entity needs to be added to the release notes sources. > > I've cc'd re@FreeBSD.org, since they have change control over the release notes and would need to make or approve such a change. > > -Ben
