week of 2018-03-19 release. I'm putting the last issue requests on barring unexpected huge bugs. All future issues will be handled via
the last forums, so assuming no real further bugs found, expect Perl github as normal inxi issues. I spent 2 weeks fielding issue reports,
inxi 2.9.01 to hit around Monday or Tuesday. If bugs found, of course, on forums, and got great feedback from 'some', indeed, many distros.
those will be fixed before release. 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.

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, I will always accept patches that are well done, if they do not break GNU/Linux,
