Re: Debian bug squashing can be rewardingRe: Debian bug squashing can be rewardingPosted Nov 26, 2005 4:26 UTC (Sat) by bk (guest, #25617)In reply to: Re: Debian bug squashing can be rewarding by Wummel Parent article: Debian bug squashing can be rewarding
Wow. Seriously, 1300 open release-critical bugs? That sounds just about unmanageable.
By contrast, Gentoo has 310 open bugs marked "critical" or "blocker". This is also more than would be ideal, but is the disparity simply a matter of the larger number of supported Debian architectures and/or packages? Or is there some more fundamental engineering problem here?

Re: Debian bug squashing can be rewarding Posted Nov 26, 2005 8:00 UTC (Sat) by marineam (subscriber, #28387) [Link] I wouldn't recomend paying much attention to the number of bugs Gentoo has marked as "critical" or "blocker". Differend devs use those flags differently if at all.
Re: Debian bug squashing can be rewarding Posted Nov 27, 2005 4:42 UTC (Sun) by larryr (guest, #4030) [Link] Whether a package has a bug may have little in particular to do with Debian; if the bug was reported in Debian and not Gentoo (or whatever), it may be that nobody noticed/reported it for Gentoo. The 1300 "release critical bugs" means bugs that need to be fixed for the most recent version of a package to be released with the next version of Debian, but by no means does that in general imply the bug needs to be fixed before the next version of Debian can be released-- maybe an old version of the package will be released, or maybe that version of Debian will not have that package. Also, if it helps, the number of "Release-critical bugs concerning the next [Debian] release (excluding ignored and not-in-testing)" is 550 of the 1300. Larry
