sorry, I see the prios differently: Peter Clifton wrote: Crasher / data loss - High (or perhaps even Critical if it is likely to be hit). depends on type of data loss: high if recent changes disappear, critical if the design vanishes (I know, the later is near impossible with move/write on saves) It also depends if the data loss is immediately evident - if not it's worse. Board output fault this is a catastrophic failure in a production environment or incorrect netlist likely to cause design breakage to my understanding an incorrect net will cause a design break with 100.0% likelihood - critical error UI wart / cosmetics - Low what is a wart ? freezes, hickups of state engine: medium button should be more to the left = cosmetic: low ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

It has just been pointed out to me that I should _remind_ people, that setting the priority status on their own bugs is BAD FORM. The exception here really being Wishlist is a decent status to set your feature-requests to. Leave them as New though, so a second pair of eyes will look and review it too. If you're triaging patches / bugs from other people.. I'm not sure quite what statuses to suggest - lets try not to be too formal for now, but my suggestions would be: Crasher / data loss - High (or perhaps even Critical if it is likely to be hit). Board output fault or incorrect netlist likely to cause design breakage - High (or Medium depending on likelihood / severity of the design breakage) UI wart / cosmetics - Low Feature request - Wishlist If unsure.. leave it as Undecided Most important is confirming the bug, and / or commenting on / discovering a minimal reproduction if not well stated by the original submitter.

Just a style nit, but I don't think we should close any bugs with sf-patches as Invalid. This rather suggests that the problem the user is trying to patch is somehow non-existent. If we decide we can't / won't accept a patch, please close it with WontFix Invalid should only be used for submitted patches if the issue is filed against the wrong project, or works around a problem in the wrong place - e.g. fixing a GTK theme bug by patching some horrific kludge into PCB (NB: - that was a made-up example, not from an actual patch). -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)

Re: gEDA-user: Apply to join the geda-bugs team to triage bugs...
I would like some field that the release managers can use for scheduling if/when a bug/patch/feature should be in a release. I.e. if I tag a bug as next bug release, then the next bug release has to wait until that bug is fixed, but future bug release won't hold it back. Etc. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Take a look at the milestone feature in Launchpad. I've set up some release milestones (on the main launchpad.net/pcb/ page), and you can target particular bugs for particular milestones. See for example: https://launchpad.net/pcb/+milestone/next-bug-release The release manager would just need to scan for bugs in the list which are not Fix Released. (I think they sort by status, so that should be easy even with lots of bugs). You could also do an advanced search, and pick which milestone(s) you want to find bugs targeted for.
