mmm.... yes <a href="mailto:java@gentoo.org">java@gentoo.org</a> would be a good place instead of here to email it.<br><br>Basically the aim I have for this is too draw the attention of you dev&#39;s to bugs that are a &#39;quick&#39; fix.
<br><br>Therefore meeting the aim of closing bugs without you guys having to do most of the investigation...<br><br>I have also though of going thru <a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org">bugs.gentoo.org</a> and reassigning the priority of bugs into categories (rather a large job for anyone who has other projects they want to get kicking).
<br><br>eg (as a very ruff guess)<br>So P1 would be for security exploits and the like.<br>P2 would be for ebuild related buys<br>P3 ebuild request<br>P4 ebuild request that are extremely difficult (or just can&#39;t happen because of lack of resources)
<br>P5 (something even worse than above)<br><br>I also believe that there should be some bugs marked as WONTFIX, CANTFIX.<br><br>For example jboss <a href="https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148383">https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148383
</a> and <a href="https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66965">https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66965</a><br><br>I believe, and it will be interesting in hereing your views on this, that bugs should only be open if they are actually going to be worked on.&nbsp; With jboss we now have a binary ebuild in the overlay that could replace the existing versions and these jboss bugs could be closed.
<br><br>What do you guys think?<br><br>Alistair (ali_bush)<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/17/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">William L. Thomson Jr.</b> &lt;<a href="mailto:wltjr@gentoo.org">wltjr@gentoo.org

<br>&gt;<br>&gt; I wonder what the bug-wranglers would like of that :D<br><br>Well another route would be to email bug #, and comments to<br><a href="mailto:java@gentoo.org">java@gentoo.org</a> Then the first dev that gets the email can take comments
<br>add to bug and close the one. Instead of having to close and comment on<br>two :)<br><br>To expand that, you could email over a list of bug #s with comments, to<br>kill more than one bird with a single stone. ;)<br><br>
