Evening, Alright folks, as Jeremy Kemper mentioned I'm working on a set of "triage" scripts for the Rails trac using RFuzz to go through all the tickets and clean them out. I've talked this over with the core guys, and they're behind it.
I'm calling this set of scripts "THE MAGGOT" thanks to hasmanyjosh. Basically THE MAGGOT (all caps) will be run against the trac tickets periodically and will auto-reject any tickets that don't meet certain criteria. The goal of this is to keep the rails patches and trac tickets focused and actionable. Your tickets won't actually go away, they'll just be flagged "wontfix" with a terse little message about what's wrong with it. Everyone should take a look at the list and feel free to comment on the results. REMEMBER NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET. We're just exploring it. Ok, first, here's the writeup about the criteria and the list of tickets on the chopping block: http://pastie.caboo.se/9354 And here's the ticket listings: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/report/16 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/report/18 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/report/11 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/report/3 WHAT TO DO * If you have a ticket in the list (http://pastie.caboo.se/9354), look at what it says is wrong and fix that. * If your patch is really old, just mark it "resolved: wontfix". * If your patch still applies, but maybe isn't tested with the latest 1.1.6 then retest, regenerate, and resubmit. * Finally, 1.1.6 isn't listed as a version yet, so if your patch applies to 1.1.6 then just set it to 1.1.1. Alright, thanks a bunch folks and enjoy your weekend. -- Zed A.
