The focus is on wrong-code and regression bugs at the moment (not necessarily lowest-hanging fruit) Apropos this enhancement: 1) My last set of working patches was against 4.9/5 - so they need to be forward-ported. 2) There is a design ;-) the reason this is assigned... 3) This would involve changes to c-family FE and some ME additions, so you can be sure it is not relevant until 10 stage 1 at the earliest. > (I really wish I knew as much about the Darwin port as he > does so I could help reduce its "bus factor", but unfortunately I haven't > been able to focus hard enough to sit down and really learn it) There is a lot of testsuite noise some of which probably *is* low-hanging fruit (places where there are Linux-isms in the test cases which simply need the Darwin equivalent) - Darwin folks *you* can test/analyse/categorise these, whereas the folks without a Darwin box cannot - so please go at it! JFTR, I started with testsuite fixes ..
