Hi all, you might have seen the recent flood of closed bugs in your inbox (or on [email protected] if you don't look at that folder too often). I briefly talked to David Faure today in #:kde-devel and he agreed that it is of not much use to keep old KDE3 bugs open since it is not actively maintained anymore.
So just in case you are worried about what is going on: I am cleaning up a bit :) For the future: - I intend to go through old reports and since distributions don't ship anything older than KDE version 4.5 it would make sense to close those and ask people to reopen if they can reproduce the issue with version 4.8.4 or newer. Please tell me if this seems too early. - Please use the commit hooks BUG:, CCBUG: and FIXED-IN: in your commits, this allows to not only close the report and avoid some manual cleaning but also allows to provide continuous information on bug handling with the CCBUG: hook so people don't feel like nothing is happening. A commit link will be automatically added to the report. - When the bug is reproducible with a more recent version, please change the version field to reflect that status. Since you neither maintain several branches nor backport changes to older versions than the current SC release it is not useful to keep the version field inaccurate. It also allows to filter bug reports much easier. - As a rule: please don't forget the reports you set as NEEDSINFO, that status should not be used as a garbage bin for bugs reports. Without feedback those should be close in a regular manner, also something you can ask us to do for you. Please tell me if you need component or version changes done on Bugzilla, I am usually around in CET and rather an owl when it comes to sleeping time. There also is the possibility to set up reminders for release blocker, regressions etc., to be sent to this list or to one or several individuals, please ask if you need this set up, you can have it from once a day to a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly up to a yearly schedule, your choice :) Regards, Myriam -- Proud member of the Amarok and KDE Community Protect your freedom and join the Fellowship of FSFE: http://www.fsfe.org Please don't send me proprietary file formats, use ISO standard ODF instead (ISO/IEC 26300) _______________________________________________ Kde-testing mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-testing
