Re: [Tracker] Bugzilla is not the evil [was Re: Issues with current trunk]

Hi Luca,

 I think the situation with the bugzilla can improve a lot with:

1) Proper categories to the bugs. (More comments in your message about this)
2) Heavy bugtriagging deprecating old useless bugs. 
3) Move the feature requests (enhancements) to a wiki page. Some of them depends on FTS and things that still need some months to arrive, so those bugs are distracting us from the real issues.

  The code now is totally different so a crash in tracker-search-tool using the last released tracker is completely useless. The same applies to the Ubuntu bugzilla. I try to keep an eye in the bugzilla but it is very difficult to see the real important bugs for the next release.

 We can fix this two points at the same time of the release. Maybe we can request some help of the bugtriagging team in gnome. 

 Thanks for the suggestions,

Ivan

I know it's OT but... are you really sure that this list of issues on
mailing list (or on a wiki page) can be managed better then filed bugs
on bugzilla???

Maybe bugzilla is not trivial, but it's well suited to _track_ issues
and their life cycle. I'm currently using bugzilla to track the status
of HighContrast-SVG icon theme and it's really really useful, especially
helpful to allow other people to know if someone if working on a bug and
if a bug fix is planned/desired to land on future release

Of course active developers should take care to check stuff on bugzilla,
confirm the bug and eventually assign it. Is not useful report a bug on
bugzilla if nobody will take care of it ;)

Cheers, Luca
