What will be done with bugreports in Bugzilla?
Hi, I am curious about what will be done with bugs listed in Bugzilla. At the moment, it shows over 900 open bugs. Are the developers working on fixing all these bugs or have they already moved to development of next release, fixing just security related bugs in current release? Thanks kj

Fixing bugs reported in a previous release is a part of development of a new release. I am sure the developers are working on all the bugs, though in their own priority order which makes us think the bugs we see are not getting solved. I think it would be useful to have the statistics of bugfixes -- something like each week "n bugs fixed at bugzilla.novell.com", "n bugs fixed at bugs.kde.org" etc. Just like we have for court cases... Then we would know that the developers are progressing. Shriramana.

Hi Shiramana, There is a lot of statistics that one can pull when logged in. I can agree with you that they have their schedule. I know that they work as much as they can, but on every new release there will be a lot of new (and duplicate) bugs that they have to check, sort out and solve. The last takes time, so they look to solve most annoying bugs for majority users first. That particular bug annoys me very much doesn't mean that it is even noticed by many others. On the other hand we add the load if file the bug report for existing bugs, but sometimes is hard to choose proper search word to find them, or it is the same to developers, but not for me as user. -- Regards, Rajko.

There also is Deskzilla. Unfortunatly it is not free. 99USD is not exactly cheap. There is a 30 day tryout you could use. http://almworks.com/index.html It works nicer then the web interface, I think and no, I don't have it installed anymore. -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
