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@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.

A legal problem has been raised with the University of California, Berkeley, regarding processing/distribution of 4.2 buglist material by mt Xinu. UC has asked us to stop any further buglist activity pending analysis of this problem and mt Xinu has agreed. We do not know anything about the exact nature of the legal question at this time, nor do we have any idea how long our buglist effort may be on hold. We are sorry about this. We feel that the buglist distribution is a service to the 4.2 community and to UC and we believe that our arrangement with UC is fair to all concerned. Please hold any additional requests or inquiries to mt Xinu concerning buglist material. We will make additional announcements as the issues are clarified.
