Given more than 500 bug reports on YaST at bugzilla, I wonder what this "YaST: highlights of development" is about?
Regards, Frank
Hi Frank, it is true that there is many bug reports in bugzilla for YaST component, but it does not mean we do not work on it. It is just about priorities and also about amount of incoming bugs. We usually get daily around 10 bug reports. So it means that if we fix 10 bugs daily, we are still on that high amount and take also in consideration that we do not get bugs just for openSUSE, but also for SLE which pays our salaries. What is source of this bugs? As YaST is mostly integration tool, it really depends on various tools to do its job, so many bugs comes from fact that tools are changing and yast needs to react and usual way how we know about it is that we get bug report. Another source is user error/ UX problems that something is badly understood and as result it does not work as expected. And of course we are also just only humans, so we introduce bugs when we do changes like another bug fixes or new features. Is it too much bugs? Well YaST source code has approximately around 500k LOC, so it is it around 1 bug per 1k LOC, which is not bad and probably means that there is still a lot of undiscovered bugs. How you can help with it? As it seems you worry about number of bugs, so of course you can help with fixing bugs ( we welcome any patches ), triage it ( trying to reproduce it, ensure that everything is clear and YaST logs are attached) or even trying to find workaround and document it till real fix appears.
I hope this brings some light into amount of bugs YaST have and we welcome any your contribution.
