Personally I find this time around has been the absolutely most productive attempt. People from the kfreebsd camp has actually started to reply to mails! Thats a great step forward in my book! The reason I've spent alot of time writing mails is because I want to find someone with interest to take care of kfreebsd. I hope you don't find that offensive. I'm asking around where to find kfreebsd people (which actually replies), and people keep telling me to just continue writing mails.... I hope you can see that while I've never cared for kfreebsd myself it's been quite upsetting that I've not managed to get anyone to even reply to mails. That's why I've given up on even CCing debian-bsd. If we can turn this around, then my mood will be much better! If you feel offended then I'm sorry for that. Not sure you should expect me to change all that much without someone else lenging me a helping hand though. I hope you can see that me being stressed to find time for things I actually want to get done, means I'm not very receptive to having to spend time on things I care very little about.

Haven't found where the updated patch went yet (maybe I'm just too stressed). I think I've managed to wrestle the BTS so that the *closed* bug no longer should prevent testing migration. Will try to have a look at patches as soon as I find some time after verifying testing migration has completed. As already mentioned; Help welcome! My time is very limited.
