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 minimum
|
|
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>

|
|
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>

|
|
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>
