[Libreoffice-qa] Keyword bisected
Hi All, I just found out that this keyword bisected is being used. I'm curious who is using it and what it is identifying. Also, I'm curious if we shouldn't move whatever it is being used for to the whiteboard - having 2 bisect things being in whiteboard, and then 1 in keyword seems strange to me. We have bibisectRequest and bibisected in whiteboard, then we have bisect in keyword. A couple people have told me they use the keyword to indicate that the exact (or nearly the exact) commit has been identified. If this is true...it's good to have (and would be another potential easy hack to move bibisected to bisected), but we need to share this information with developers so that it's actually useful information. Else, if developers are just querying for bibisected in whiteboard, they are going to miss bisected in keyword Best, Joel ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/

For bibisected we use the whiteboard, because we cannot add keywords on freedesktop, but in new TDF bugzilla instance bibisected can be a keyword, too.

Else, if developers are just querying for bibisected in whiteboard, they are going to miss bisected in keyword FWIW, I used it only on bibisected bugs, so at least where I set it, the bug is whiteboard: bibisected keyword: bisected in the end, so that bisected bugs are a subset of the bibisected bugs. This was done when I did the other swipe over regressions etc. and was discussed on the ESC: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/minutes-of-ESC-call-td4127344.html Back then, I looked for all the bibisected Writer regressions and identified those that have a suspected single commit identified, because I wanted to have an idea of how many bugs are triaged down to one commit. For Writer, it was quite a huge set of the open bibisected regressions. This is a Good Thing as shows that bibisecting works. This is a Bad Thing, as we likely should be faster/more vicious in evaluating if the commit that caused the regression was worth it (because it e.g. fixed a bigger problem). In some cases, it might make sense to close the bug as WONTFIX, if there is no proper solution, and reverting the guilty commit would bring back bigger issues.

I added bibisected to the bisected bugs that did not have the whiteboard status. There were 13 so not too bad.
