Hi,
my experience is that such tracking bugs are not useful. The time
invested in adding dependencies (what is rather uncertain, who can know
how many bugs are missing and on what facts the various contributors
added the bugs to the Meta) should be invested (with much more benefit)
into careful review of the related BZ bugs and completion of information
in the BZ bugs.
An example: "Issue 124891 - CRASH when close sidebar with Navigator active"
<https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124891>
I found that one with importance "Normal", what is rather inappropriate,
that one has blocker quality. Such a report should get an appropriate
importance rating, that's enough. If all info in the reports is up to
date a simple query replaces the Meta Bug.
And why is "Issue 124947 - Fullscreen Filter Freeze" blocking the meta
bug? Currently we know nothing, it's unconfirmed ...
"Issue 114361 - "Read Error" with embedded images after saving in
Writer" appeared with 3.2, why is this listed in a 4.1 related tracking bug?
And so on.
I recommend not to create tracking bugs what can be replaced easily by
queries and if there is no evidence that they are necessary for the bug
fixing process.
And if there is a decision that the tracking bug should be created
please follow
Best regards
Rainer
