Gah, lame nightrest...

Anyways...

Time to get back to MySQL (I prefer PostgreSQL), Perl and PHP hacking for the ticket system.

The thrill. =)

Just read the whole SQA thread. Interesting. The FreeBSD Project now has since 4.0-RELEASE a devoted QA mailinglist to stamp out the bugs during the month code/feature freeze prior to release.

Also whilst reading the replies I came across kelly's diary entry about a conversation with Miguel de Icaza. Frankly I was a little shocked about Miguel's answer. I know of a lot of FreeBSD committers who are actually spending that 5 hour maintenance time to fix those obscure bugs. Or even devote entire weeks rewriting low-level stuff so that all bug dependencies are taken care off. For someone whom seems so tied in with the Gnome Project to ensure its placement on the desktop of many users I find this lack of persistance of fixing bugs sadly lacking.

I know I go the additional mile to fix those last obscure bugs or annoyances how long it might take me. It will get me less mail about something being broken plus it will give me the feeling that I did my utmost best to make sure it is fixed for (almost) everyone.
