Hi Laszlo -
We generally don't include pre-releases or other patches in the CVS tree
unless there's a _really_ pressing bug that's affecting development.
Each merge takes time, and handling all of the prereleases would be a
lot of overhead.
Regarding the "bugworks" URL, you're correct - it's only accessible on
SGI's internal network. It's not that there are any big secrets in
BugWorks for linux-xfs, it's just the way our infrastructure is set up.
It would be great to use bugzilla, or some other tracking system that's
available on the internet, but we need to follow SGI's procedures for
tracking bugs, which means using BugWorks.
Perhaps we could write something that would copy linux-xfs bug reports
out to bugzilla - that would be an interesting project. :)
