Current FreeBSD problem reports
The following is a listing of current problems submitted by FreeBSD users.
These represent problem reports covering all versions including
experimental development code and obsolete releases.
Bugs can be in one of several states:
o - open
A problem report has been submitted, no sanity checking performed.
a - analyzed
The report has been examined by a team member and evaluated.
f - feedback
The problem has been solved, and the originator has been given a
patch or a fix has been committed. The PR remains in this state
pending a response from the originator.
s - suspended
The problem is not being worked on. This is a prime candidate
for somebody who is looking for a project to do.
If the problem cannot be solved at all,
it will be closed, rather than suspended.
c - closed

documented, and tested.
