But as far as I remember, in the past there were more "activity" on bugzilla. Especially the times between a bug entered and it was confirmed or even a discussion about the bug was started, was much shorter. I can't prove this - only a very crude SQL statement for the bugzilla database could answer this question. ;-) Additionally I think that trivial patches for trivial bugs were much faster accepted. I can't remember that in the past bugs were completly ignored for months. >> d) There is only very few documentation about debugging gnome: >> >> How do I strace/gdb/ltrace/valgrind an application/an applet/a bonobo >> component/a plugin? > I cover strace, gdb, and valgrind at > http://www.gnome.org/~newren/tutorials/developing-with-gnome/html/ch03.html > http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-applets/HACKING?view=markup, > http://www.davyd.id.au/articles/debugging-gnome-applets.shtml).
