4.2 BUGLIST FROM MT XINU

MT XINU has completed the first round of  summarizing  known
4.2bsd  bug reports. This is an ongoing effort; further sum-
maries will follow.

The current summary has been derived from reports  submitted
to  4bsd-bugs at BERKELEY  (not  from reports submitted only to
net.bugs.4bsd, for example).  All reports on file at  Berke-
ley as of 23 March 84 have been reviewed.

Bug lists now being distributed are essentially  "raw".   No
judgment  has been passed as to whether the submitted bug is
real or not or whether it has been fixed. Only minimal edit-
ing  has  been  done  to produce a manageable list.  Reports
which are complaints (rather than  bug  reports)  have  been
eliminated;  obscenities  and  content-free flames have been
eliminated; and duplicates have been combined.  The  result-
ing collection contains over 300 bugs.


Three versions of the list are now ready for distribution:

2-Liners:
     Two lines per bug, including a concise description, the
     affected module, the submittor. Approximately 7K bytes,
     it   is   being   distributed   to    net.unix-wizards,
     net.general, net.bugs.4bsd.

Abstracts:
     The 2-Liner + approximately a paragraph of  description
     per  bug.   About 70K bytes, it is being distributed to
     net.bugs.4bsd.

The Public Collection:
     All our material, except that all but the most  innocu-
     ous  of  source  material has been removed to meet AT&T
     license restrictions.  Hundreds of  K  bytes,  this  is
     being  distributed  to  net.sources,  in several pieces
     because it is so big.

Please note that local usenet size restrictions may  prevent
large  files  from  being received and/or retransmitted.  MT
XINU will not dump this material on the net a  second  time;
if  your  site  has not received material of interest to you
within a week after you receive  this  announcement,  please
send for a paper copy.
