bugs with open patches

bugs with open patches

[Rolf Leggewie]

Hi,

I'd like to raise awareness of the fact that we still have well over 150
bugs in the tracker with patches claiming to fix the issue at hand.

 http://bugs.openembedded.net/buglist.cgi?keywords=patch&resolution=---

All we need is someone to look at them and either apply or reject them.
 If you feel a patch needs more work to be included in .dev, just remove
the patch keyword and leave some short explanation as a comment.  My
cleanup routine should catch this and I'll continue with bug triage
before eventually setting the patch keyword once more.

Regards

Rolf

Thanks for the heads up. Should we try to reinstanciate our bug squashing 
weekends again?

Hello,

thanks to everyone who heeded the call and combed through the list
following my mail.

Yes, I think that would be a good idea.  We have a good number of
straight-forward, well-triaged bugs in the tracker.  The number of open
bugs overall increased by 50% year-on-year.

I'd also like to make you guys aware of the fact that bugzilla can save
searches for you.  I have defined about 10 searches that I look through
from time to time.  So, instead of getting the whole long list, I can
look at what is of interest to me and see how that selection of issues
develops over time. Highly recommended.

Regards

Rolf

... and even better if we integrated that with the push-'em initiative

http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Push_patches_upstream#Push.27em-weekends

When would be a good time?  When were the bug weekends usually scheduled
previously?  First weekend of the month?

And we have another 30 or so tickets with recipes to get new software
into OE
