Adding some numbers (I mentioned this in http://blogs.gnome.org/view/ovitters/2007/04/08/0): Based on server stats over the last week, we: * Created 23 GNOME <=2.14 bug-buddy reports. Update: To clarify, the <=2.14 bug-buddy programs updated themselves 9603 times (it does that when you start it and it wasn't updated for at least 1 day, plus the server config changed). Obviously that method of reporting bugs is so broken that killing it wouldn't have a big impact. * Received 5513 XML-RPC GNOME 2.15 + 2.16 bug-buddy reports. I assume 60% are auto-rejected (received!=created). * Received 475 XML-RPC bug-buddy report for other GNOME versions (sometimes the bug-buddy version couldn't be determined). * Created 2405 bugreports in total (over the last 7 days instead of last week). I hope above clarifies why I will kill <=2.14, but want further input on the other versions. Note: The blog also has a comment (finally found why my comments weren't working!:) about very hard to understand XML error messages. Someone seen that as well? -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
