Unfortunately I have to disagree with you.
I have come across 3 NFS related PR's so far, I manually patching my
system with them against STABLE.
Let's see them:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=147998 - patch provided by
the reporter, no resolution after 2 years.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=162009 - patch provided by
the reporter, no resolution after 9 month
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=164933 - I reported with a
patch, no resolution after 6 month
Certainly I can report another PR with the problems I spotted and wait 2
years before I get an answer, but I don't call that problem solving. Or
can you please explain what do you mean by "proper channel"?
I can understand, that's pretty annoying (from my point SAD) that
someone is sending problems to the mailing list and gets no hints.
However I think, it's more sad, that the freebsd developer community is
just ignoring the patches they are sent and doesn't considers quality
assurance.
Thanks,
Attila
