  • How to get my port ustreamed?

    From Robin Haberkorn@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 17 03:45:33 2024
    Dear FreeBSD users,

    I have created a FreeBSD port of my text editor SciTECO and would like to
    get it upstreamed:

    https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=276492

    Who is responsible for taking this kind of decision?

    Best regards,
    Robin

    Hello Bob,

    nice to see you are on Usenet as well.

    Isn't that what I've done? I did read the handbook. Is there anything I
    missed, perhaps?

    Have you tried asking for a review on the freebsd-ports@freebsd.org
    mailing list? You might also get more attention using reviews.freebsd.org
    for new Ports, it is extra work, tho, the added exposure across platforms
    may be of some benefit?

    There seems to be some movement in the ticket now, so let's see whether
    this helped.
    Apparently, the right people are hanging out on
    comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. ;-)

    If nothing helps, I will try reviews.freebsd.org.

    Best regards,
    Robin

    You should have been here when loads of the official mailing lists where synchronised here on Usenet, good times...sadly gone now, and now, even
    mailing lists are being replaced by shit like Github, and even Matrix has entered the picture.

    Github doesn't really get accepted in the FreeBSD communit it seems.

    By the way, I am about to patch the kernel to get a job interview with
    some company. While the docs say, you can try submitting a PR on
    freebsd-src via Github, I was recommened to use reviews.freebsd.org.
    That's the way to go?

    Best regards,
    Robin

    The FreeBSD Project hosts its own Git repositories.

    Yes. And put a pointer to your review in bugs.freebsd.org if you're
    fixing a bug. Discussing changes on mailing lists is also encouraged.
    hackers@ and current@ are often good places to start. arch@ may be
    appropriate for broader architectural changes, but probably best to
    start with hackers@.

    For what it's worth: I still run a hack to forward posts to announce@ to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce.

    Gmane also still exists. A bit.

    sadly gone now, and now, even mailing lists are being replaced by shit
    like Github, and even Matrix has entered the picture.

    The optimist's view is that a lot of the noise that made Usenet and
    mailing lists less productive since September 1993 has now moved
    elsewhere. You don't have to follow GitHub. And I'm not even going to
    look up what Matrix is. :-)

    You would prefer hackers@ over drivers@?

    Unless you're fixing a driver. :)

    I am trying to add TTY devices to linsysfs. So, yes, it's a driver.
