Hi All,
I'd like to suggest we improve the selection of OSes in the OS listbox,
by getting rid of the ones we dont build for or have 0 bugs for (e.g.
AIX, HP-UX) or have virtually no open bugs for (e.g. Solaris, OpenBSD),
as we have an 'Others' entry that should be sufficient for that.
I agree... those 4 O/S could be safely merged into "other"
I also think we should add ones that have unique bugs that dont happen
in different versions. Here are some of the ones i think should be added.
Windows XP - quite a few bugs exclusive to this
Windows Vista - quite a few bugs exclusive to this
Windows 10 - would assume new bugs are being found exclusive to this
that dont affect 7 or 8
Windows (64-bit) - quite a lot of LO x64 build only bugs
Linux (64-bit) - i've seen a number of these that dont affect the 32-bit
build
I think it's better to have a short O/S list since most of the bugs fall
into large categories instead of adding too many subitems for any
specific version of the same O/S
those specific bugs are a minority of the total number
I think we already use whiteboard items like needsXP etc. etc. to
idnetify those kink of bugs and should continue doing this
Steve would better know if we needed to break up the 'Mac OS X (All)'
entry into additional entries.
With this improved OS field, i believe we can retire the Hardware field.
I've never found the hardware field particularly useful during bug triaging
I also think it's kinda "scary and intimidating" for newbies who
approach the Bugzilla website.
