Tracking bugs in Extras

Note: Work in progress

A bugtracker is a software application used by developers for keeping tracks of reported bugs in their work.

Bugtrackers benefits

Bugtrackers give both developers and users a lot of benefits.

Developers:

  • They are notified when a bug is found in their applications
  • They keep track of reported bugs so that they can organize their work
  • They can easily communicate with reporters if they need more information or further testing

Users:

  • They can easily report the bugs they find and help to fix them
  • They can give developers tips and suggestions

Validity criteria for bugtrackers and bugtrackers links

Actually, these bugtrackers links are considered valid:

These bugtrackers link are considered NOT valid:

  • General links that do not lead to a dedicated page (e.g. http://talk.maemo.org or https://bugs.maemo.org)
  • Mispelled links (e.g. links starting with "xsbc-bugtracker")
  • A link to the package in the testing queue http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_free_armel/[packagename] The reason is that there will be no bug history once there is published a new version.
