Speaking about Bugzilla in general, I think ours could really use a facel= ift.=20 When you look at what some other projects have done to make their bug rep= orting=20 and tracking interface more user-friendly, it's obvious we have a lot of = room=20 for improvement. I remember back when I first started using Gentoo seein= g a=20 mock-up some dev had done for a bugzilla redesign that was much simpler a= nd=20 visually appealing, but I can't remember who and I suppose they've probab= ly=20 retired since. I've always thought it was a shame it never saw implement= ation.=20 Anyways, I think this could make a good project for someone in our comm= unity=20 who would like to participate but perhaps is more artistic than technical= =2E=20 Previous web design work and a good understanding of user interface desig= n would=20 be required of course. I suppose we should probably ask infra if this is= =20 possible first too. ;) On keywording/stabilizing, Bugzilla has a flags feature that might be use= d to=20 track what has been tested where. For example: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D12345 Flags have three states: +, -, and ?. + and - are obvious, and ? is a re= quest.=20 So imagine having a "x86 tested" flag that the maintainer sets to "?" t= o=20 request stabilization of their package. An email is sent to the arch ali= as=20 notifying them of the request. The arch tester tests it out and sets the= flag=20 to + or - depending on their results. The arch dev stabilizes the packag= e as=20 normal. If we added a "Keyword/Stable Request" component to the "Gentoo Linux" pr= oduct=20 we could also have it dependent on that, so only bugs in that component w= ould=20 display the flags. We can also make it so only people with editbugs priv= ileges=20 and request or set flags. http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/2.22/html/flags-overview.html Again, this would require infra to be on board. --=20 fonts, by design, by neglect gcc-porting, for a fact or just for effect wxwindows @ gentoo EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662 --------------enigF0610983125169C1D168F657 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHyXU0iqiDRvmkBmIRCPDBAKCYsb1ELuoIAUxai0OQtqYdye616ACeIrK/ zIsXipCH1/dP60g9jKkeStc= =ep7l -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigF0610983125169C1D168F657-- -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
