Getting patches applied. emulated buildd's are good (was: kFreeBSD is "fantastic")

2007-03-08 Thread Drew Scott Daniels
guillem's [0] list of bugs [1] shows the main problem for the kfreebsd porters. 93 "important" (probably release-critical for kfreebsd) with patches available! 105 bugs with patches not applied. Certainly getting in the archive would give them more time though. Should porters be required to NMU?

kFreeBSD is "fantastic"

2007-03-06 Thread Drew Scott Daniels
It seems the largest problem to including kfreebsd into the archive or as an official Debian port is communications. There may be technical or social reasons too, but they're sometimes difficult to identify without enough communication. On Tue, 6 Mar 2007 13:58:42 +1000, Anthony Towns wrote: > On
