pkgsrc dfly-pkg-people

2010-10-17 Thread Francois Tigeot
Hi,

I have a pkgsrc bug report with fixes currently sitting in gnats. The
responsible field has been changed to dfly-pkg-people.

Is there any real person behind this name ? What should I do to have the
patches committed ?

I figured I should ask first here before going to one of the pkgsrc lists...

It's a standard procedure and makes sense of course. Unfortunately no
people behind dfly-pkg-people (including me) is active at the moment. As
far as I know it will change hopefully.

Re: intermediate snapshots

:I looked at /home/@@0x00032c8cabed, which is about halfway between two 
:adjacent links in the /var/hammer/home directory. If I had changed files 
:before and after that time, what would I see?

Well, you don't really know what other transaction ids might be
between those two links that might be associated with other files
and directories, so the snapshot you see might not be quite what
you expect.  For the particular file or directory in question
if there are two transaction ids A and B and you access one
that is half way inbetween, aka ((A + B) / 2), you will most like
just get the same snapshot as if you had selected B.

Re: What does HAMMER UPGRADE flag means during hammer cleanup

:Hmm. I got a message telling me to run cleanup when I upgraded. Perhaps, since 
:the newly installed filesystem had no snapshots, it had no snapshot metadata?

   Yah, that might be it.  In anycase, I'm not going to worry about it if
   it is just a one-time thing.

That's a shame :-(

I only need someone to commit the patches in pkg/43879. They are really
short and to the point (about 4 lines of changes).

DragonFly 2.8 release engineering update - branched!

2010-10-17 Thread Matthew Dillon
We have finally branched 2.8.  The offical release will be in about
1.5 weeks.  We need to build packages (which will take about a week)
and we will also continue to fix bugs and bring them into the
release branch before we roll the ISOs and IMGs.

Suggestion for hammer cleanup

2010-10-17 Thread elekktretterr
I think we definitely must have hammer cleanup not depending on periodic.
Especially laptop/workstation users, since they may be running only couple
of hours a day.

The system should be able to automatically initiate hammer cleanup
whenever it's been more than 1 day/x hours since last time it was run. It
doesn't matter if its day or night.

Suggestions?
