I'm not deeply involved in the FreeBSD project. I just use it and make my donations to the FreeBSD Foundation. I try to make good bug reports when I find issues. I read the mailing lists. That's about the extent of my involvement. The trouble with offers of "cycles and space" is everyone offers that. Why not, it doesn't cost them anything? Except for the ports cluster, I don't think the project is short on "cycles and space". Unfortunately, the ports cluster appears to require dedicated hardware, not just spare cycles such as the distributed.net type projects could use. What the project appears to be short on is programmers willing to do the work. There seem to be several programmers who would like to work on FreeBSD stuff more regularly. The more specific resource which may be missing is programmers with sufficient money to pay their bills, feed their families, and who still have time to work on FreeBSD. If you want a particular something accomplished, and do not have the coding skills to do it yourself, you might try offering to fund a programmer to scratch your itch. If you can't afford sufficient funds to get a programmer's attention, you might setup a bounty through with multiple people can contribute toward scratching their common itch. Your time spent coordinating the bounty efforts would be a quite valuable contribution to the project. I think many people are simply worn out from politely refusing the offers of "cycles and space" and may be a bit testy in general. Just remember, e-mail can usually be read as having a much harsher tone than the author intended. That is as true for messages sent by you as for messages sent in reply to your message.

Hi Max, Ports, I have a problem with the subject mentioned port that when its parent terminal has been lost that it does not exit and remains present causing 99% CPU usage until killed. Repeatable: 1. Open a xterm(1) 2. su(1) to root typically "su -" 3. Start pftop 4. Kill your terminal in what ever way. pftop remains present after this causing unneeded CPU cycles.

Unfortunately I have no money (been out of work for nearly a year and living with relatives at the moment), nor programming skills that would be helpful. I can read and even understand the basics of Perl and shell scripts. I've even read the handbook and know more about what goes into contributing a port than I did before (and will know even more once I read it in depth). I know that cycles isn't really a good offer on a project like this, but I do a lot of things on my computer (local web developing for starters) that can take up a lot of cycles. Having to shut down anything just to go and test and use a particular program and then bug report is a significant investment in my time and CPU. It really is the best offer I have to make. If my bro-in-law (current router admin where I'm staying) wasn't such a Nazi about forwarding external port 22 requests to my box, I'd offer even more. Hence my very polite (pointedly so just so as to make sure no one would get testy) request about a time frame for the latest (or at least whatever will work with FF3.6) Java. > So, everyone, step away from the computer.

It came on very strong recommendation from one of my geek friends as an
alternative to bash (which he termed as a "joke"). I've managed to make
some basic cosmetic customizations to it that make it /look/ like bash,
so I'm happy with that. Just have to get use to not having tab-complete
suggestions (or find a way to enable that, too).

It's hard not to when someone either a) misunderstands because didn't
actually read the OP but claims to be remembering from it (perhaps there
is another OP that I'm not aware of that he's referring to?) or b)
willfully misunderstands just to be a troll. I didn't ask to get a
flamewar started. I asked because while Java (right now) isn't a
requirement for me to use, FF3.6 (with all the latest security patches),
is. As a part-time web developer, I need to have these tools available
to me (and again, I am willing to help make that a reality).

That stopped being hilarious after my first six months on slashdot (many
moons ago (I signed up circa 2003)).

I'm not deeply involved in the FreeBSD project. I just use it and make my donations to the FreeBSD Foundation. I try to make good bug reports when I find issues. I read the mailing lists. That's about the extent of my involvement. The trouble with offers of "cycles and space" is everyone offers that. Why not, it doesn't cost them anything? Except for the ports cluster, I don't think the project is short on "cycles and space". Unfortunately, the ports cluster appears to require dedicated hardware, not just spare cycles such as the distributed.net type projects could use. What the project appears to be short on is programmers willing to do the work. There seem to be several programmers who would like to work on FreeBSD stuff more regularly. The more specific resource which may be missing is programmers with sufficient money to pay their bills, feed their families, and who still have time to work on FreeBSD. If you want a particular something accomplished, and do not have the coding skills to do it yourself, you might try offering to fund a programmer to scratch your itch. If you can't afford sufficient funds to get a programmer's attention, you might setup a bounty through with multiple people can contribute toward scratching their common itch. Your time spent coordinating the bounty efforts would be a quite valuable contribution to the project. I think many people are simply worn out from politely refusing the offers of "cycles and space" and may be a bit testy in general. Just remember, e-mail can usually be read as having a much harsher tone than the author intended. That is as true for messages sent by you as for messages sent in reply to your message. I'm as guilty as the next guy of inferring a harsh tone from an e-mail. Also, it seems like everyone, including those in meat space near me, have been a bit extra touchy lately. It might help if everyone could just make allowances for the possibility that the other guy is just having a bad day. Don't take mailing lists so seriously. So, everyone, step away from the computer. Look at how nicely spring is shaping up. Get some sunlight. Take a deep breath, smile, and try again. Here in Arkansas, we have a lot of daffodils up. The fruit trees are flowering.

Is there any reason that you don't simply install 'bash'? I use it as
my shell and love it.

Don't take it personal. Whether or not you are praised or ridiculed
depends entirely on where you are seated. Saying Microsoft sucks
because they don't have {Applet of your choice} and you will be
praised. Complain that your OS of choice lacks a feature that is
readily available on other OS's and you will be chastised. It just goes
with the territory. At times it can get really hilarious.
Remember, saying Microsoft, or any other operating system lacks a
feature is insightful criticism; saying your OS lacks a feature is flame
bait and counter productive. Once you remember that, the rest is easy.

That's not what I, and seemingly others, read.
There's a difference between:
"FreeBSD doesn't have this {feature, (working) port}. I
really wish it did, and I think there's more people than you
realize looking for it."
hopefully followed by:
"What can I do to help?"
and what I remember of the original post, which came across as:
"FreeBSD doesn't have X? Do you not realize how important X
is? Bunch of losers. Fix it, or I'm outta here."
and - seen that way - drew a predictable and quite human
reaction. Especially when the poster seems to be somewhat more
clueful than someone who is trying FreeBSD becuase "My geek friends
said I should use Linux.".

Unfortunately, the pre-requisites for actually doing the backtrace aren't met with FreeBSD (HAVE_BACKTRACE and DBUS_BUILT_R_DYNAMIC defined in config.h) so it won't work anyway. It is possible to turn off all checking by defining DBUS_DISABLE_CHECKS in config.h _before_ compiling dbus, but that may be a bad idea.
