KS2010: Regressions

Posted Nov 9, 2010 19:07 UTC (Tue) by cry_regarder (subscriber, #50545)
Parent article: KS2010: Regressions

How many of these unfixed regressions remain unfixed? How many are fixed in point releases? How many are fixed in the next release?

Are we building a massive pool of regressions that if not fixed before release, never get fixed?

Thanks!

Usually all regressions are fixed eventually.

Look at the dependency tree of bug 15790 to make yourself a picture. The amount of open regressions is somewhat related to the amount of time people spend on going through the old reports and researching if the bug is fixed or not.
