Hi again,
I successfully obtained Mixxx from the bzr repo and compiled the codebase
(no compile errors).
Now I'm finding the bugtracker a bit confusing -> easy bugs that can be
fixed in a
weekend<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=EXPIRED&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&assignee_option=any&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.bug_supervisor=&field.bug_commenter=&field.subscriber=&field.tag=easy+weekend&field.tags_combinator=ANY&field.has_cve.used=&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.affects_me.used=&field.has_patch.used=&field.has_branches.used=&field.has_no_branches.used=&field.has_blueprints.used=&field.has_no_blueprints.used=&search=Search>,
I find it hard to sort out which bugs are fixed already.
If anyone could enlighten me it would be great.
Best regards,
João
