alt="Project Goal">
<p class="main">The aim of this project is to get the FreeBSD bug
tracking system upgraded from GNATS3 to GNATS4 with the minumum
outage, disruption and breakage.</p>
<p class="main">This turns out to be reasonably easy, as long as
the interdependencies on the FreeBSD project's machines are
understood. The main aim of this page is to provide a place for
documentation of these dependencies, along with the steps required
for a successful upgrade and the order in which they should be
taken. A secondary aim is to assure interested parties that work
on this <em>is</em> ongoing, but is non-trivial.</p>
<img src="&imagebase;/project_plan.png" width="229" height="36"
alt="Project Plan">
<p class="main">Initially, development is being done on the
bugmeister's local machine, but pertinent patches will be made
available at <a href="&projectbase;">&projectbase;</a> as they
are deemed ready.</p>
<img src="&imagebase;/how_to_contribute.png" width="229" height="36"
alt="How to Contribute">
<p class="main">The vast majority of the work involved will require
direct access to the FreeBSD cluster of machines, with elevated
privileges. However, there are some patches that need to be
written, so check the table below to see what still needs to be
done. If you have specific queries or patches to contribute, then
please contact
<a href="mailto:bugmeister@FreeBSD.org">bugmeister@FreeBSD.org</a>
with details of how you can help.</p>
<p class="main">If you notice that a task is missing from the list,
then please do get in touch with the Bugmeister and let me
know!</p>
