Greetings Eclipse project leaders.
For Mars.0 we roughly collected one million error reports [1,2]. But with the
advent of Mars.1 there will be multiple versions of the same bundles be
available, which makes it hard to track which bugs have really been fixed and
which ones still exist in the latest versions of our software. I’ve to admit
that I hoped to receive less reports and to see bugs getting fixed quicker or
to see projects marking error reports they don’t want to handle as wontfix. But
fixing takes time and marking issues as wontfix turned out to be a too large
overhead.
Given these observations I’d like to change the weekly digests to only report
issues that occurred on Mars.1 or later, i.e., I’ll implement a filtering based
on the Eclipse build-id and only add those reports to the digest that occurred
on a current Eclipse version. I plan to take that change live by the end of
October. If you (i.e, your project) still wants to receive error reports for
older versions of Eclipse, please let me know. We can make that happen.
If you are looking for a more fine-grained control, please post your
requirements to bug 47112 [3].
If you are interested in face-to-face discussions: There will be a BoF at
EclipseCon Europe on Tuesday evening 20:00 [4] for discussing the future of
automated error reporting.
Best regards,
Marcel
