Ubuntu has hundreds of bugs sitting around for years and years. Personally: I have stopped filing bugzillas at various places. Projects organized around bugzillas are inefficient.

That isn't how development works. "So you don't have time to file bugs but you would have time to fix them" is rhetoric. The issue is ROI. Why file bugzillas that some "dev" authority figure may or may not fix in two years, when you can fix the code yourself? If you want to call him a Gentoo developer, then do so ASAP, and give him CVS. He knows what he is doing and filing bugzillas is a waste of talent. If you let him fix his own bugzillas he might go for that. But wasting his life trying to earn brownie points and respect? Sad. Gentoo needs the manpower and blowing it off with HR excuses is really, really dumb. I can hardly believe what I'm reading. It makes me want to cry.

Oh for crying out loud, Pierre. How paranoid! Luca - questioning Gentoo's HR shouldn't elicit insults about pigs and trolls. This behavior suggests you are too easy to piss off in the first place. I'm not going to bother with pointwise pseudo-rebuttals that amount to not listening. I am an experienced developer. The proof is in the pudding. If Gentoo gains more devs than it loses, and the bugzilla shrinks faster than it grows, then I will change my mind. Anyway you're clearly set in your ways! Good luck!

I know what you mean, but take into account I don't have much time left for the reporting. What I ask is either build a communication channel or getting me able to fix stuff, obviously after having contacted the respective maintainers and talked about the issue. Well, I am saying this utopic thing just because I don't even have time to track down all the issues I found and then report, most of the time I end up copying the ebuild from the tree into our overlay and fix. I tried to report a few bugs, but the response time is quite big and I always have to be quick. So, to sum up, if we can build a better communication way it could be useful for both sides.

Then open a reduced number of bugs, say one per portage category that has over 20 bugs and group the rest in a one or 2 other bug reports. Then bug wranglers can start sifting through the list to see if you've been smoking crack or not and add relevant herds/arch teams/maintainers as CC to those bugs to get them fixed. I've done this before on a much smaller scale (20+ packages) and others have too for other issues (eg. Flameeyes with WANT_AUTO* which started out as a huge list of 100+ packages) and this process has always worked fine so far. > To build my previous list, I took about 30 > minutes, it's not that big, but even that small. > So, what I just wanted to try to build up is a fast lane. Bugzilla is still the fastest lane around. We're not the LKML, bugzilla _is_ our primary tool. > When I say "I don't have time", it means that I can't waste my time > fighting with some of you just because you have the knife in your hand > and like to make fun of me. Honestly, this is borderline paranoia. Most of us get bug reports from people we've never heard of, living in countries we've never been to, with ages and social backgrounds that we don't even know (or care) about. And I have yet to see a Gentoo dev closing a bug as WONTFIXBECAUSEIDONTLIKEYOU. :) > BTW, It's funny to see the difference of attitudes from here and IRC, > let me underline that :) So this is a neutral ground. I'll add that Bugzilla is also very neutral, even more so than mailing lists AFAICS.

As the others said, you can either group them together, or as I noted previously, you can use Bugzilla templates. I think the templates are going to be a better option for you, based on not being able to see what you meant about lzo, x264-svn and attr. Hopefully this URL won't break, as I'm deliberately not shortening it to show you a template: http://bugs.gentoo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Gentoo%20Linux&version=2007.0&component=Applications&rep_platform=All&op_sys=Linux&priority=P2&bug_severity=normal&bug_status=NEW&alias=&bug_file_loc=&short_desc=Please%20stabilize%20&comment=Target%20keywords%3A%20%0D%0A%0D%0ATest%20procedure%3A%20FEATURES%3Dtest%20emerge%20%0D%0A%0D%0ATest%20procedure%3A%20FEATURES%3D-test%20emerge%0D%0A%28compile-test%20only%29&commentprivacy=0&keywords=STABLEREQ&dependson=&blocked=&maketemplate=Remember%20values%20as%20bookmarkable%20template&form_name=enter_bug&assigned_to=robbat2%40gentoo.org From the advanced bug filing page, write in a lot of the content that you want, and then use the button on the button 'Remember values as bookmarkable template'. If it takes you 5 minutes to file a bunch of near identical bugs, something is wrong. The above is my core URL for filing stable bugs. With a little bit of magic, you can pre-populate every field (eg look at the KEYWORDS+metadata and work out 'CC' automatically), and then just fill in a little bit of unique description if needed for each one. The only time it takes me more than 30 seconds to file a bug requesting stabilization on one of my packages is if I want to write a detailed testplan. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Infra Guy E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 [-- Attachment #2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 329 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

You think that because you work everyday with gentoo on your own variant should automatically grant you CVS access. This is _not_ possible. It has already been said, the only way to get access CVS is to take on the quizzes and this is for far too many good reasons. If you can't leave with that, then I'm sorry but imho things won't move on this front in the foreseeable future. 2. You don't like the attitude of devs playing with you on #gentoo-dev, seriously, did you stay on this channel long enough to _not_ find how devs are interacting together. We play with each other pretty much each day and no-one takes offense (or at least not too often :D). Please relax and hear the arguments not the playing. I probably forgot some points I wanted to expose but these are the roots of the rest I believe. -- Gilles Dartiguelongue <eva@gentoo.org> Gentoo -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread
