Re: Bugs

["Jasper St. Pierre" <jstpierre mecheye net>]

I just looked at the 100 tickets that I filed that are still open in Bugzilla -- the majority of them are patches to fix existing bugs I found, new features, or code cleanups, or other things like that.

Only six or so were actual bugs.

I do report bugs whenever I find them, but the majority of those are resolved.

If anybody has any frustrating bugs in products I maintain, I'll gladly take the time to look over and fix them. I do get an onslaught of bugmail (waking up at 8AM this morning, after going to sleep around 9PM last night, I had around 25 new bugs in bugmail), and I try to read it all and reply and fix bugs that appear, but sometimes they slip through the cracks.

I use GNOME Shell and the related GNOME applications 50+ hours a week -
it is all stable and fast.  So whatever methodology is employed seems to
work quite well,  I am dogged by very few bugs.  The bugs I have filed
have mostly all been dealt with.
