Exactly. I'm getting more and more the sense that there should be a
separate bugzilla section for documentation, which would include
packaging descriptions.
Ie, a separate section ?
What would it achieve that the current bugzilla system would not ?
I don't think it would help. There is (was) the tag "Doc" (or similar)
in Bugzilla which already marked the bug as something related to
documentation. Somebody who is concerned and ignored that would also
ignore a separate section and vice versa.
I like a more general approach involving the users and packagers likewise:
- see a lack of or bad description in the "Individual package
selection and/or rpmdrake
- report it as a bug, giving the necessary explanation (in an ideal
world offer a good description yourself)
- triage team dedicates the bug to either the packager or the
developper who inserts the description in the installer.
I would even add a tag on it, for junior job, or something like that. Ie
small changes that can be done by newer packagers, just to learn how to
change a package without requiring specific technical skills.
Funny you should say that. I was thinking along similar lines, that new
packagers could do some of the small, simple stuff to get experience AND
reduce the load on experienced packagers. I hope this gets implemented.
I'd be interested (albeit with some trepidation) in being a "junior
packager" myself. Having apprentices, who do a lot of the simple stuff,
is in my opinion the way to go.
