+ | ====== Evergreen Bug Wrangler FAQ ====== | ||
+ | ===== Reporting Bugs on Launchpad ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you would like to report a public bug for Evergreen, please do so on our **[[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | When reporting a bug, please include as much information as you can: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The version of Evergreen that you are using. | ||
+ | * The version of the PostgreSQL database server that you are using (if known). | ||
+ | * The version and flavor/ | ||
+ | * The version of OpenSRF that you use with Evergreen (if known). | ||
+ | * What steps you took that trigger the bug. | ||
+ | * What happened. | ||
+ | * What you expected to happen. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Frequently, users have questions regarding the different statuses and importance values assigned to bugs on Launchpad. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Bug Status Definitions ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **New** - The default status. | ||
+ | * **Incomplete** - The bug report is missing important information preventing it from being fixed. | ||
+ | * **Opinion** - The bug report expresses an opinion and is not actually a bug in the software. | ||
+ | * **Invalid** - Bug is unreproducible by multiple users, other than the submitter. | ||
+ | * **Won' | ||
+ | * **Confirmed** - Bug is confirmed by one or more users, other than the submitter. | ||
+ | * **Triaged** - Bug has been acknowledged. It isn't new or confirmed, but we'll assign a real status later. | ||
+ | * **In Progress** - A developer is actively working on a solution to this bug, or may be awaiting commit/ | ||
+ | * **Fix Committed** - A fix for this bug has been committed to one or more release versions and is awaiting release. | ||
+ | * **Fix Released** - A fix for this bug has been officially released to the public. | ||
+ | ===== Bug Importance Definitions ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Critical** - Showstopper: | ||
+ | * **High** - Must be fixed by release. | ||
+ | * **Medium** - Normal Severity | ||
+ | * **Low** - Not very important. | ||
+ | * **Wishlist** - Feature requests, development ideas/ | ||
+ | * **Undecided** - The default status. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Assignments ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Assignments are used to show who is currently looking at a bug, either writing code or looking over code to be merged into the main code base. It is a convenience so that other developers know that someone else is still busy with some work on the code. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you have finished either writing or reviewing the code, please remove your assignment from a bug. If you were reviewing code and you have questions for the programmer, you may reassign the bug to them as a signal that the code still needs work. If you do this, you should also add a comment to the bug explaining why you think the code needs more work or asking your questions. | ||
+ | ===== Milestones ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE: The following examples are based on the 2 series of Evergreen and use 2.7 terminology to give some substance to how milestones may operate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Milestones for wishlist bugs for new features may be assigned to the next release for future review before they are fully finished. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bug reports and fixes may be assigned to the actual milestone where we plan to include the fix. These normally only get specific milestones now when there is working code to test and there is a " | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Tags ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Look for the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are a few tags that we use in a special way: | ||
