MinGW Issues ticketing system

The information on this page lists the tickets that have been issued for the MinGW project. You can search for tickets that might interest you and then subscribe to those tickets. MinGW development has now been relocated to OSDN.net; consequently, no new tickets may be created on this tracker. For bug reports, you should now direct these to the OSDN.net ticket system; for support requests, you should subscribe to, and ask on the MinGW-Users mailing list.

Searching tickets

The SF search engine uses the Solr Lucine Query Syntax. The fields that you can search on are summary, text, ticket_num, assigned_to, reported_by, labels, status, mod_date_dt, import_id, _milestone, _type, _resolution, and _category. To specify the field to sort by add a _s to the field name, e.g. status_s. You specify the value by delimiting the field with a : and specifying a value, e.g. status:closed. To specify a value to exclude you prefix the field with a ! or -, e.g. !status:closed.

CAUTION: Those of you who have privileges please do not use the "Update Search" button. The result is immediate and there is no method to return the value other than manually modifying the search value again. I have a feature ticket open to remove the button or add an "Are you sure" feature.

NOTE: The import_id field is not displayed. It is used to find an imported ticket id. So if a ticket references a ticket with the old tracker system, you should be able to use the import_id to find the ticket referenced. I have not tried this; I've just discovered the possibility to do so.

NOTE: I have noticed and there exists SF support tickets concerning that the data returned does not excluded some cached data. I have also noticed an out-of-sync issue between the counts of tickets in a saved search and the data presented. Both conditions are a result of the same base problem and that is the cached data is not subsequently filtered with the search patterns. Eventually the cached data expires and a new result will show the proper search. The result is noticeable just after updating the meta data of the ticket.

Proper tickets

Please review Reporting Bugs before submitting a ticket with the type of Bug. Please review HOWTO Submit Patches before submitting a ticket with a "Patch attached" checked. If you have a question about "how to use" you will get the most coverage to an answer if you submit your question to the mingw-users mail list.
