Hi all,
First of all it was really cool to see Martin Pitt making some
tests for apport ( really cool) and then asking/telling people to run
them so he sees how things pan out in the real world.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/122688/
an off-shoot of this which gave him some clues which lead to :-
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/74691
Now its really cool that martin made those tests even without finding
the GNU debugger issue on i386 kernel. In fact I would love to do more
tests like that as it helped him makes me love apport even more :)
(although its his baby)
The other thing which I found is if I as a user give a call , then I'm
open to simple bug confirmation sometimes it pays off. For e.g. Jerome
asked me to see if two games slune balazar I'm able to launch if
not report them to the respective bug-reports (and gave bug report
nos.) or file anew subscribing him.
While this might be a one-off event but there are probably quite a few
of these one-off events where one needs to download install launch
or launch and do couple of steps.
Typically when you ask people on the channel you are given something
like this :-
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=orderby=datecreatedsearch=Searchfield.status%3Alist=Newfield.status%3Alist=Confirmedfield.status%3Alist=In+Progressfield.status%3Alist=Incompletefield.status%3Alist=Fix+Committedfield.assignee=field.bug_reporter=field.omit_dupes=onfield.has_patch=field.has_no_package=start=4575
which makes most of users like me very afraid as we don't know which
we will be capable of or not.
Although I might not have the right words or the right answer here are
couple of things which I feel might make the procedure better/cool.
1. Have a filter by distribution and/or releases. So let's say I wanna
have an overview of all bugs filed after gutsy tribe 1 onwards . Right
now thats very hard to know, the filter should work while filing the
bug so it makes easier.
2. perhaps have a gutsy-users or something like that on freenode so
people can do simple bug triaging like I did with jerome or something
close to that so the guys can work on more confirmed bugs.
As always comments, suggstions, flames all are welcome.
