The Joy of Bugbusting

While waiting for MIPS toolchain import to happen I entertain myself with bugbusting. You should try it sometime. GNATS jungle, small and large bugs are sneaking around, scent of rotten emails in the air. I don't feel like hunting down large bugs. They're dangerous beasts. It's much better to deal with small ones. Pick a (one|two|three|up-to-twenty)-liner and fix it. Then you can bring it home, varnish it and eventually MFC it. Nice outdoor activity for developers :)
PS
The first PR I've nailed: kern/123685.

bsddev blog SitRep

Long time no blog. Many things have happened during last 6 months: I got a commit bit, FreeBSD/MIPS reached multiuser and started migration from P4 to CVS. Right now we're waiting for toolchain patches to be imported to contrib/binutils properly. So let's prepare to celebrate buildable FreeBSD/MIPS world in a couple of weeks! Meanwhile I'm busy with getting latest zaptel (they changed name to DAHDI, actually) drivers to FreeBSD and a couple of side aсtivities like digging into aio code from OpenSolaris/Linux/FreeBSD. Hope to blog more regularly now. Stay tuned.

NY gift from Juniper

Juniper released FreeBSD/MIPS port to public. There are no references to JNPR-specific hardware pieces but a lot of mature code for generic MIPS devices that mips2 tree lacks: VM/pmap, libc, FPU support. Nice gift, thanks JNPR!
