Peter, I think I fixed this issue. The problem was some regression in logic introduced as a solution for bug #196909 Please let us know if mailing lists still receives irrelevant emails. Commit reference: https://github.com/freebsd/bugzilla/commit/26fb612b6f8d4aadc1dca9af052c1c9b1185f610 Judging from freebsd-amd64 traffic in archives this issue should be fixed now. |
The file-a-bug page asks what hardware you're running on. It's vague, but if somebody reads the help to for a clarification, it says something even worse: "Hardware The hardware platform the bug was observed on. .." This leads to an endless stream of junk being assigned to the freebsd-amd64 users list., eg: [Bug 210986] Conflict ZFS with GEOM ? [Bug 211179] libc strcoll() enters endless loop when comparing two specific UTF8 strings under en_US.UTF-8 [Bug 211195] pw userdel Segmentation fault (core dumped) [Bug 210142] makewhatis binary is requerd for building release even with WITHOUT_MAN_UTILS=YES [Bug 211360] ESC characters are not interpreted by /bin/sh This is just a random sample. It has basically killed the mailing list. Please, stop this madness.
