README for inxi - a command line system information tool
|

|
||||
NOTE: Maintainer alert: Perl inxi 2.9.01 is looking good for maybe early
|
||||
week of 2018-03-19 release. I'm putting the last issue requests on
|
||||
the last forums, so assuming no real further bugs found, expect Perl
|
||||
inxi 2.9.01 to hit around Monday or Tuesday. If bugs found, of course,
|
||||
those will be fixed before release.
|
||||
NOTE: Maintainer alert: Perl inxi 2.9.01 will be released 2018-03-20
|
||||
barring unexpected huge bugs. All future issues will be handled via
|
||||
github as normal inxi issues. I spent 2 weeks fielding issue reports,
|
||||
on forums, and got great feedback from 'some', indeed, many distros.
|
||||
Other distros failed to give any feedback, so your issues will take
|
||||
last place in any issue queue because I gave you every opportuntity
|
||||
to do this release right.
|
||||
|
||||
I didn't try all the distros because my time is finite, so if you
|
||||
find glitches in your particular distro, most likely to appear in
|
||||
Repos if I didn't directly test your most current syntax, post
|
||||
issues on github master branch of inxi with whatever debugger data
|
||||
that is requested. Failure to provide debugger data except in very
|
||||
obvious cases will result in putting the issue on hold until it's
|
||||
provided, and closeed if not. No data means wasting my time, to be
|
||||
clear, since you're asking me to try to get bits of information
|
||||
over days rather than minutes.

BASIC GIT BRANCH:

@ -134,6 +146,20 @@ than it should be in the 21st century. The BSD support in inxi is an ongoing
|
|||
process, with more features being added as new data sources and types are
|
||||
discovered.
|
||||
|
||||
All BSD issue reports unless trivial and obvious will require 1 of two things:
|
||||
|
||||
1. a full --debug 21 data dump so I don't have to spend days trying to get the
|
||||
information I need to resolve the issue from the issue poster.
|
||||
|
||||
2. direct ssh access to at least a comparable live BSD version, that is, if
|
||||
the issue is on a laptop, access has to be granted to the laptop, or a similar
|
||||
one.
|
||||
|
||||
I decided I have to adopt this much more strict policy with BSDs after wasting
|
||||
untold hours on trying to get good BSD support, and in the end, I realized, the
|
||||
only BSDs that are well supported are ones that I have had direct access to for
|
||||
bebugging and testing.
|
||||
|
||||
I will always accept patches that are well done, if they do not break GNU/Linux,
|
||||
and extend BSD support, or add new BSD features. inxi sets initial internal
|
||||
flags to identify that it is a BSD system vs a GNU/Linux system, after that
