Just to be precise, I think that you're referring to the drop-down
"Component" menu. I agree that whatever the original meaning of this menu,
it has been extended to include items like "Newcomer", "Security", and
"Performance", which don't fit my definition of a product Component. If it's
ok to continue overloading this menu, then I agree that this is an
attractive place to list these bug categories.
I agree that Component is not really the right place for these. I
don't think we should continue overloading Component like this. I
think it would be better to add these to a new 'Category'
multi-checkbox list like the other Derby options. I don't think a
drop-down select will work because these categories are not mutually
exclusive, i.e. something can be Newcomer and Performance or High
Value and Regression.
I was going to puzzle through how to add these check boxes and then I
noticed that you did it already. Thanks, Andrew!
Other candidates:
- standard deviation
- drivers differ
Now I have to ask you for a little more context! What do these categories
mean?
I think he means:
a) Deviation from a standard: JDBC, SQL, DRDA
b) client and embedded driver differences
It would be good to have categories for those that are searchable in
the Search page, for instance instead of tracking them through
DERBY-310 for embedded/client differences.
