Yeah, we expected to have glitches.  I think we now have a much better
idea what sort of status-tracking support we need for future fests.

Yes. I'm not meaning to whine, sorry if it comes over like that. It 
looks to me like we need a sort of prep phase for a commit-fest, so the 
people switching into commit-fest mode when it starts can do so with 
little friction.

 Some people would say a more structured approach to patch/bug tracking 
 would help them (but maybe not help you) ;-)

[ Email moved to hackers.]

This is an interesting observation that deserves to be discussed
separately, and relates to the patch queue.  Many people want to know
what is happening with the patch queue but having better reporting
doesn't seem to help much the people who are actually processing the

I'm not sure I follow.  I tried last week to give some hours for patch
review.  What actually happened was that I had to wade through a ton of
stuff, skipping patches that were already applied, threads that were
purely discussion but not patches, threads about earlier versions of
some patches.

I did manage to find actual patches, but I had then to resort to my own
mailbox to get the actual patch to apply and review.

Now I can't be sure whether the current commitfest is finished or there
are still patches pending review; what patches could use input from me;
what patches I could bounce to the next commitfest.

Also I don't know what patches we have for the next commitfest.  I would
gladly give some time to put up a Wiki page to list the patches for the
next commitfest.  Would that be helpful?

Yep, that describes the painful process well.

I have tried to stay on top of patches already applied but I am doing a
clock sweep over the queue and you probably caught a spot I was nearing.

The rest is clearly hard to digest.  Ideally I could group all related
patches together, and separate the pure TODO items from the patches that
might be TODO items or might be applied.  (Though I do need comments on
the pure TODO items too.)

The problem is that I know of no easy way to do that and the time to
doing it is better spent actually processing/deleting items.

 I did manage to find actual patches, but I had then to resort to my own
 mailbox to get the actual patch to apply and review.

You can download an mbox of the entire queue if that helps.

There are two or three items that we have decided to hold over, although
maybe it is sufficient if they are entered as TODOs.

Also, we *have* received several patches since the start of commit fest.
Somebody needs to check through them and see which are revisions of
patches already in the queue (legit material for this fest) and which
are new stuff (not so much).

Yeah, there is still a boatload of stuff that could be removed from the
patch queue.  I think that Bruce is intentionally leaving in all traffic
related to an open patch, which is okay by me as long as the obsolete
versions are properly commented.  But I wish he'd get on with removing
the stuff that is marked as already committed (some in 8.3!).

You can get the message-ids by grep'ing the mbox file, and the comments

e.g.

http://js-kit.com/rss/momjian.us/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

So, once you grep the message ids, you can just pull the comments using

Hmm, there's the permalink stuff I mentioned via Jabber.  I think you

The other thing Greg is saying is to remove paginated output.  You can
set mhonarc to put all messages in a single page.  I'm not sure this is
such a hot idea for all users, because such a page would be humongous;

 Huh, fascinating. it's actually an RSS feed.
 
 I can fool around with this. I should be able to snarf in the mbox and format
 a wiki page with the comments from js-kit and links to the message-id.

Alvaro reminded me that '@' can be used in a URL, just not in the host
name part, so I have converted over to using messsge-ids for permanent
URLs, e.g.:

http://momjian.us/mhonarc/patches/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I will keep the MD5 URLs too as well until this commit fest is over.

   You can get the message-ids by grep'ing the mbox file, and the comments

I have fixed js-kit so when you get emails about a comment, it now
points to the permanent msg-id URL.
