Personally it got me lookign at bugzilla (a habit that has since
lapsed), and looking at the thread it seemed to lead to the resolution
of a fair few bugs. Do people think that doing this on a regular (say
monthly) basis would be a good idea? And if so, who would do it? (note
that I'm not volunteering - it's just something I was thinking about :)
I could be persuaded to, perhaps - or maybe some of the people who've
done a bit more with bugzilla might consider it?
yeah, sure go ahead. Creating reasonable bugzilla queries and posting
the result would definitely not hurt. It might help to get more people
working with Bugzilla. Bugzilla is a great tool but using it for a large
project like The GIMP requires a reasonable amount of maintainance work.
Two weeks ago, I added a list of useful Bugzilla queries at the bottom
of the download page for the developers' version of the Gimp:
http://www.gimp.org/devel_ver.html
The links allow you to see the list of open bugs or wish lists, for
all versions or only for the stable or unstable versions. The bug
reports in which the version number is unspecified are assumed to be
related to one of the stable versions. Once you have the result of the
query, you can easily sort it by clicking on the column headers in the
results page (personally, the first thing I did with Bugzilla was to
click the Change Columns link, add the Changed Date and Reporter
columns, and then sort by date).
When I have some spare time, I will also try to add more specific
queries (Windows only, all OSs but Windows, Linux only, ...). For the
curious who have an account on wilber, these links are generated
semi-automatically from a set of definitions that can be found in the
file /gimp00/web-gimp/defines/links_bugs.def.
Let alone the fact that someone needs to fix the bugs...
Very true. You are doing a great job. ;-)
