First NetBSD Bugathon a Success

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the of-course-it-runs-over-bugs dept.

Daniel de Kok writes "Last weekend the first NetBSD Bugathon weekend was organized by Elad Efrat to handle as many open PRs (problem reports) as possible in a weekend, checking and fixing the bugs that were reported. Although the first Bugathon was not announced widely, it was a success: about 30 developers and 20 users closed around 270 PRs, bringing the number of open PRs down from 4200 to less than 4000. The next Bugathon will take place on 7-8 October, and NetBSD users and developers are invited to help fixing bugs and handling PRs."

  1. What kind of bugs? by Just+Some+Guy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm trying to think of funny jokes about the types of bugs you find on a corpse, but they just aren't coming. In seriousness, though, what kind of bugs do the remaining 4,000 comprise? Are these along the lines of translation errors in i18n man pages, or kernel dumps on SCSI RAID systems?

    P.S. FreeBSD for the win.

    Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?

    There are no recent benchmarks, are you stupid or something? The last benchmark that came out comparing the BSDs and Linux was poorly done and over 3 years ago. Dumbass, who are these science buffs you're spouting this nonsense about? I have never seen any major scientific papers come out about how the scientists be loving the BSDs.
