[#2] project: bugtracking priority: medium category: missing feature
submitter assigned to status date submitted
Burak Burak won't fix 2003-06-27 16:06:22.0
subject even better bugtracking ?
code
// this database is nice to show at any given 
// time some bugs, but one needs more help
// to really keep track of things, record 
// discussions etc...

// waiting for suggestions.

---- Matthias ------------------------------------
Here's what I am missing in the system:

* In the status field, we should also have an option "no bug"
[DONE]
* There should be a field for specifying how severe a bug is
  and how urgent a fix is needed
* There should be a field identifying the location of the bug
  (possible options are: parser, type checker, phase X,
  library, etc.)
* We should have a field for commenting on the resolution
  of the bug (e.g. explaining why someone set "won't fix")
[DONE (comments)]
* We should log all activities with the name of the user that
  did changes and the date (and make this log somehow
  available to the user of the bug tracking system)
[more or less DONE (comments)]
* There should be a date field for specifying when a bug
  was submitted. Probably there should also be a field for
  specifying a version number (of the compiler) where this
  bug appeared.
[date DONE, version number TODO]
* It should be possible to sort the bug list (according to a
  specific entry); this allows a user to quickly find all bugs
  that are assigned to him/her (just for Burak).

---- Erik ------------------------------------
* There should be a product field. 
  (with entries like scala-compiler, bugtracker,
  scala-language).
[DONE]
* As Matthias suggested there should be a field
  for the position of the bug. The entries in
  this field should depend on the project.
* The status field should be divided into Status
  (fixed, open, won't fix, etc) and Category
  (bug, feature, Inquiry)
[DONE]
* The possible choices for each field should be
  configurable by the user. I.E., they should
  also be tables in the database. (So you can
  add a new status type or a new category type.) 
what happened
a quick hack to solve an urgent need.
what expected a decent bug tracking system that reflects our needs best.

a test of the "comment" feature.

another test of the comment feature, and the revised email notification.

Great! Now it would be nice if we could sort the buglist. The email notifications might become a bit annoying if there is a lot of activity in the bugtracking system. I would like to get an email only when a bug is assigned to me or when a bug which I have marked as "monitor" (or something) is changed.

I'd personally like to have a way to tag a bug as a duplicate of another one, and when looking at the bug, see links to all its duplicates.

updating a bug report changed its date. this is a test whether it is fixed.

Some more changes went into the program, I will publish the changelog instead of writing them here. Philippe would like to have the list sortable by one click. I will look into that. Changed status to "won't fix" because I am sure we will never stop thinking of new features : )

test.

I annotated the text with some changes.
I edit this feature request to test the rewritten "Aladdin" software.

2nd test.
