you make on each ticket, just as long as someone has taken a look and
moved the ticket forward in some way. For example, you might check
for duplicates, update the metadata, ask for more information from
the submitter, try to reproduce the bug against the latest version of
GHC.
To claim a ticket all you have to do is remove it from the list on
the wiki. Full instructions are here
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/BugSweep
including a list of suggestions for ways to make progress on a ticket.
I've taken a look at a ticket and I think it should be closed as
invalid, but I hesitate to make that decision on behalf of the GHC
developers. What should I do in these circumstances, just draw it to
your attention? I have added a comment to the ticket explaining why.
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/29 is the ticket in question.
I agree. I think we kept the ticket open in the past because there are
limited cases where you might be able to do something (e.g. if the type
is known to be Int, then you know the properties of '<', '==' etc.),
But that's far too vague for a ticket, and it's not clear that it's a
good idea, being limited to built-in types and operations.
Cheers,
Simon
