[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Bug Wrangling

[Jason Stephenson]

Hi, all.

During the Developers' IRC Meeting yesterday, I volunteered to change  
all those bugs with "fix committed" status to "fix released" status  
where appropriate.

While it seems relatively straightforward, I thought that I would  
share the methodology that I plan to use to make that determination in  
the interest of transparency.

I plan to go through each of these bugs, read the descriptions and  
notes, and check the commit messages from SVN to see when the code was  
committed. If the commit appears in a released version of Evergreen  
(1.4.0.7, 1.6.0.10, 1.6.1.4, or 2.0.0 beta 3), then I will change the  
status to "fix released." If the commit is only in trunk or in a  
branch revision appearing after one of the listed releases, I will not  
change the status to "fix committed."

I am also willing to set target milestones for other open bugs, but I  
would need some guidance on what other developers would think are  
appropriate bugs to target for rel 2.0 and 2.1. I also don't have any  
real experience with a 1.6 system, so would not be of any use triaging  
bugs that only affect 1.6 but are gone from rel_2_0 or trunk.

If anyone has any suggestions or comments on the above, I'm certainly  
open to your ideas.

Cheers,
Jason Stephenson
