I was looking at this the other day with the intention of adding to it - great job! I would add information about the request-sponsor table between your current steps 2 and 3. Others on this list are better able than I am to add to that information. I'm sorry for the long response here, but this list is the group who should comment on these comments:
I believe the bottom line is that if you find your CR# anywhere on the request sponsor page, then it's taken and you should find another one or perhaps try to join with those who are already working on it, but do not jump in and develop your own solution and then write to this list. Is that correct, sponsors? The page has five categories: Awaiting Sponsor - Someone has already written to this list asking for a sponsor. Even if no sponsor is assigned, a community member is already working on this. Sponsor Assigned/In Progress Fix Integrated into a Nevada Build Accounted for By Means Other Than Putback - This is described at the bottom of the table as, "Fix no longer required; reason noted in Build column." The Build column is at the far right; make sure you adjust your view so that you can see it. Request Suspended - This is described at the bottom of the table as, "Request suspended; reason noted in Sponsor column." Second-to-far-right column. 2. Find a bug 2.1 Is the bug anywhere in the request-sponsor table? If no, continue. If yes, go back to 2. File a bug is a bit different and perhaps the discussion should be separated from the find a bug step. Before you file a bug you should check appropriate communities, projects, forums to determine whether this is already being discussed or worked on or whether the community thinks this doesn't need to be done for some reason. It might be worth noting for your readers that even tiny fixes can take weeks to be integrated because they are low priority for a sponsor to spend time on. You might also want to add a link to http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/#build I'm not sure about this - it's quite old: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/on/os_dev_process/ Paul Armstrong wrote: > Could I please have a sponsor to do a technical review of > http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Developer_HOWTO > > For reference, the thread that started this document is at > http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=215308 > > Thanks, > Paul > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > request-sponsor mailing list > request-sponsor at opensolaris.org
