Re: Massive bug expiration spree

I agree we should not be setting anything to Invalid if there is a milestone--but do we often agree to fix issues by a certain time that we have not confirmed to be a bug? The affected bugs can be restored to Incomplete in production, but that doesn't sound right. Were these bugs supposed to be confirmed? The only use case I can think of for an Incomplete bug being targeted to a milestone is where a release is delayed until an incompletely-reported security problem is either fixed or disproved: it's Incomplete, but targeted to the milestone so that it's not forgotten. But that's more likely to happen with releases, rather than milestones, and in any case, it wouldn't delay a release for more than 60 days. 3. Bugs with any valid upstream bugtasks are exempt. I cannot fathom the reason for this rule? Is this right? I'm sure I have seen bugs that are Confirmed on one package, and Invalid in another. I think this rule implies that when, for instance, HAL has a known bug, do not expire the Incomplete HAL x.x in Ubuntu package. But shouldn't the latter package be Confirmed in this situation? Would it be simpler, safer, and saner to have a rule to only expire bugs that affect a single location? If a bug report has enough information to be anything other than New or Incomplete in one context, it almost certainly has enough information to not be Incomplete in any context. I guess people using Incomplete in this case are likely using it to mean New, because they mean Unconfirmed and don't realize that New really means Unconfirmed. I don't know whether that means such bug reports should be expired or not. I'd say yes, they should, just to be simpler. ... 5. bugs that have not had a reply are exempt. I agree with this. Is it common practice to set a bug to Incomplete Without asking the submitter for more information? I'm not certain every user of Launchpad understands the meaning of bug statues. If bugs are being set to Incomplete without a message, I wonder if we might want a definition of Incomplete in the email that goes out? ... Good idea.

Re: No comments input box when accepting/rejecting members
Hi Mariano, On 27/09/2007, Mariano Mara [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I checked Launchpad's bugs to see if this has been reported and couldn't find it. I'm still not sure to report this because maybe I'm wrong and I'm looking in the wrong place. If there's something you're not sure about, please do post to the list. When a candidate wants to join a team, we (the group's administrators) get an email with a link to access Launchpad and then authorize or decline the request. We have a comments input box where we can leave some info for the applicant. However, if we access the proposed members place through the group page (e.g.: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ar/+members), when we click on their names, we access a page to accept/decline/hold their request but with no comments input box there. I consider this page should have the same input box described up supra. Do you mean the bulk approve/reject page that you access by clicking Approve or decline members? If you click the pencil icon beside the candidate's name, you'll get a comment box along with the Approve and Decline buttons. Can I suggest you file a bug? In the bug report, explain why you feel it would be beneficial to have an option to include a custom comment when bulk approving and rejecting applications.

Announcing Coming Changes in Launchpad
Hello, I'd like to get your input on how we (the Launchpad team) should announce changes to Launchpad. Right now, I post a Coming Changes notice here and to the blog, as well as some other mailing lists. I'm working on a fuller process, which will better handle how we highlight more important changes. Please reply if you a request or suggestion for how we should flag up changes to the way Launchpad works.

An announcement *in* the launchpad UI would be really excellent. Google's applications do this subtly well. It's noticeable, but not obstructing. In the upper right hand corner, where there is some simple textual navigation, every now and then a New Features link will appear in red (the rest of the navigation is blue). Clicking on it will show information about recent and coming new features. -- Christopher Armstrong International Man of Twistery http://radix.twistedmatrix.com/ http://twistedmatrix.com/ http://canonical.com/ -- launchpad-users mailing list launchpad-users@lists.canonical.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users

Hi! I agree with that, or like the Gmail does, in the top of screen.. LP can put the text of New features linked to the artcile in News, before the Login information. After a week, it disappears...

We will also be removing the message that the Launchpad Janitor left in the comments. Please don't remove any janitor comments, just add new ones stating that the bug status will get restored. Otherwise it will look as if bug states change at random and comments appear and disappear by random as well. Hi stefan: Since my script to correct this is still in review, I'll look into this. Generally, adding another comment will result in another mailing. I'm not sure so many people would appreciate another round of emails from Launchpad Janitor so soon, so I'll look into what I can do to update the comments. Not too sure if that's true. From my perspective as a user (which I'm often enough when filing bugs) I guess I definitely would like another mail being informed that my bug was closed on accident. As a developer, who's currently pretty lazy and isn't subscribed to too many bugs, I'd likewise like a comment so that I can check if everything went fine now. Not too sure if this applies to people being subscribed to a large number of bugs equally, like busy devs or people from bugsquad. I agree an email needs to go out to everyone explaining what happened and exactly when this will be fixed. Using the Launchpad Janitor (which can send out the emails) to fix this requires a lot of time compared to the simple and fast effort to fixing corrupted data. I also want to avoid an avalanche of email going out to each person. I prefer that an announcement is made to several lists explaining that all bugs that users have not corrected by hand will be restored be at xx:xx UTC. -- __Curtis C.
