some committers.

Event Timeline
Starting a review now because I will be out of the office for 2 weeks starting Sunday.
I'm assuming that I should add a Doc Committers* group, not sure which.
Ed, I added you mostly to review entries for your commits, which are most of the Foundation-sponsored entries.

---|---|---|
149 | Should we say "experimental" here? The utility prints a warning to that effect when used. @markj | |
483 | This might not be necessary; the original change switched from BIOS to UEFI (which meant dropping support for some instance types), but I've since switched it to "UEFI if available but BIOS if not" so we're back to the original "can boot everywhere" state (but faster if possible). |

483 | Should this note change? I hadn't mentioned the limitation on instance types. |

---|---|---|
120 | we might want to say something like "general NO_SHARED option" (or possibly just not mention it at all) | |
149 | I think that's reasonable. I don't think there's anything to suggest there are potential problems, but it makes sense to mention here if the tool prints it when run. | |
216–217 | I expect to update to 1.13.0 still, fyi | |
239–240 | We might want to clarify this, perhaps: HPN option handling has been removed from OpenSSH. HPN support was deprecated long ago, but the configuration options were still accepted (and ignored) for backwards compatibility. | |
291 | Maybe "many" rather than "most", there are still more to go. | |
356 | we maybe don't need to mention sndbuf_dma, it's just support for ISA snd cards and doesn't really have user-facing relevance | |
410 | I should have tagged this commit with a sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation | |
494 | it was removed in af0cc0b22362153357d7b6783f64c4a11b1b03fe |
Most of this is now done in my copy, will push it tomorrow with anything else so far.

216–217 | Let me know if/when you do. I'll try to note the commit email, but may not keep up on those. | |
494 | I have a question out to Brooks; there were 4 commits, and some were phrased in a contradictory way. I think there were several components removed, but NgATM might cover them all. |
I'd also like to mention ZFS-root AMIs (code currently in the tree but images are broken due to ZFS kernel bug) and cloud-init AMIs (coming soon). No need to include them yet though (especially since the cloud-init bits haven't landed yet).
website/content/en/releases/14.0R/relnotes.adoc | ||
---|---|---|
149 | Right now, disk images generated by makefs's ZFS support trigger FreeBSD kernel panics... that's clearly a kernel bug, but I suspect there's also a makefs bug which is causing it to create images which are broken in a way which triggers the bug. ;-) | |
483 | Maybe change it to say "EC2 instances now boot using UEFI where available, substantially speeding the boot process." and cite bcf9147144f3499976a623f92712ecd0aca71912 as well. I marked the original commit as relnotes: yes because it was a breaking change (support for some instance types was lost) but that functionality was restored in the second commit. |
website/content/en/releases/14.0R/relnotes.adoc | ||
---|---|---|
483 | Got it. btw, should there be a more general summary item about boot speed, not just for EC2? Any suggestion on how to word it? |

364 | This had to be reverted unfortunately, maybe for 14.1 if time permits. Versus 13.2, lem(4) learned:
