Embedding bugtrackers links in the packages themselves makes bug reporting easy and immediate for every user who knows a little about our bugtracking system and conventions.

Revision as of 16:23, 4 March 2010

Requirement proposal: After clicking bugtracker link, you can start filing a bug right away or just after clicking one link at maximum at the page that opens. --ossipena 09:38, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Requirement proposal: Bug report has to be directly notified to the maintainer. --torpedo48 9:57, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Requirement proposal: When Bugtracker link is not supplied default bugtracker is used. Default bugtracker is packages interface itself, or maintainer mail address. This way QA time can be reduced in some cases by weeks when Bugtracker field shaping is not needed. --mikkov 08:31, 26 February 2010 (UTC) How are you going to reprot a bug to package interface? With magic? Email is of course fine with smaller packages--ossipena 09:21, 3 March 2010 (UTC) Come on! I think maemo.org runs mostly on PHP code not magic. Most important thing here is there should be a default bugtracker for all packages like in any other big distro. --mikkov 10:27, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Are you serious? creating a bugtracker takes couple minutes, putting your email to correct configuration file when packaging takes couple seconds. It is same rules for everyone, why others must do it and you don't? --ossipena 10:45, 3 March 2010 (UTC)



Bugtracker link requirement in package has no real benefit. Better system is that maemo.org/packages (or something else) is declared default bugtracker and bugtracker field can be used to indicate if some other bug tracker is used instead. Additionally the link is really only used in maemo.org/downloads where link can be added separetely.

This way one package testing is immediately simplified (and some packages is limbo are freed).mikkov 13:50, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

So you insist every link must be added separately via maemo.org pages? why not in the packagin phase? same work, different timing though. --ossipena 10:50, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Link to package testing site itself?
