Issue Tracker Page added by Felix Meschberger Apache Sling uses Jira for tracking bug reports and requests for improvements, new features, and other changes. The issue tracker is available at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING and is readable by everyone. A Jira account is needed to create new issues and to comment on existing issues. Use the registration form to request an account if you do not already have one. See below for guidelines on creating and managing issues. Issue type When creating a new issue, select the issue type based as follows: Issue type Description Bug Bug reports are used for cases where Sling fails not function as it should (as defined by some documentation). If you are not certain whether the issue you've found is actually a bug, please ask the Sling mailing lists first for help. New Feature Use a feature request when Sling does not have some functionality you need. Improvement Use an improvement request to suggest improvements to existing features. Typical improvement requests are about updating documentation, increasing stability and performance, simplifying the implementation, or other such changes that make Sling better without introducing new features or fixing existing bugs. Test Use this type when contributing test cases for existing features. Normally test cases should be contributed as a part of the original feature request or as regression tests associated with bug reports, but sometimes you just want to extend test coverage by introducing new test cases. This issue type is for such cases. Task Used only for issues related to project infrastructure. Summary The issue summary should be a short and clear statement that indicates the scope of the issue. You are probably being too verbose if you exceed the length of the text field. Use the Environment and Description fields to provide more detailed information. Issue priority Issue priority should be set according to the following: Issue priority Description Blocker Legal or other fundamental issue that makes it impossible to release Jackrabbit code Critical Major loss of functionality that affects many Slingusers Major Important issue that should be resolved soon Minor Nice to have issues Trivial Trivial changes that can be applied whenever someone has extra time How you can help When reporting a bug, requesting a feature or propose an improvement, it is a good thing to attach a patch to the issue. This may speed up issue processing and helps you being recognized as a good community member leading to closer involvement with Sling. Change Notification Preferences View Online | Add Comment
