On users@, Andreas Hauser talked a bit about his experience with filesystems, and included some links. Among other things, he pointed at the possibility of NFSv4.
Matthew Dillon listed his two major UFS goals: changing filesystem size, and speedier reboots.
Tomaž Borštnar used ubench to test DragonFly and various FreeBSD systems, and wrote up the results.
Speaking of benchmarks, the fefe.de benchmarks done some time ago may be coming in for a second round of tests. Of course, that blog entry is in German, so I’m going on what Hubert Feyrer said.
If you’ve been running a DragonFly mirror, the BSD Certification Group would like to know your download stats. Several people have quoted healthy numbers. (post them to kernel@dragonflybsd.org, if you have them)
Jeroen Ruigrok/asmodai has updated groff to version 1.19.1
Matthew Dillon wrote a little more on why he thinks pkgsrc is the best direction for DragonFly.
He also followed up on a separate thread describing the current disk size limits for UFS1. Hiten Pandya added comments, too.
Simon ‘corecode’ Schubert proposed using cvstrac for bug tracking, and he has set up an example. Scott Ullrich has already been using cvstrac for pfsense. However, Hiten Pandya was intending to set up Bugzilla.
Simon ‘corecode’ Schubert now has release, development, and preview versions of DragonFly built regularly on his server. In addition, he has the most recent version source for each type available as a .tar.bz2 file, for those who don’t want to grab it through cvsup.
The next release of DragonFly (1.4) will include pkgsrc, as Matthew Dillon described in a recent post. For those of us with 1.2 systems, some work is being done to create binary packages now, to ease the transition. The Wiki has some documentation on using pkgsrc.
