I've now set up a new mailing list, sbcl-bugs, for bug reports. The list is moderated, and (initially at least) intended solely as a mail -> Launchpad gateway that people can use to report bugs without subscribing or registering anywhere. My intent is that it only ever gets the initial bug report, and later an ack with a link to the Launchpad bug once the bug has forwarded there. (Or if we end up not using Launchpad after all, when BUGS has been updated -- or whatever.) Cheers, -- Nikodemus |

I don't know who can do it, but sbcl.org should probably reflect the new info. Zach |

I think launchpad is fine and cloud be made official. I'm not entirely clear on when to add a new issue/bug. Should every commit have a bug associated, even developer initiated stuff (as in some corporate environments)? Or is launchpad mostly for registering external bug reports and writing reminder for stuff that's not going to be handled on the spot? Cheers, Gabor |

I think having a bug for every commit is way overkill -- the latter option sounds more like it to me. What are the chores necessary to make it official? Update BUGS to refers to launchpad instead, and to that sbcl-bugs can be also used, and doesn't require subscribing. Update the manual to say something similar. Update the website. (I don't think having a separate list<->launchpad gateway is strictly necessary.) Cheers, -- Nikodemus |

In case of closed bugs just like in the old days: find a version of BUGS that has the bug in question open. In case of open bugs... I'm an idiot. Not easily, unfortunately. Some of the launchpad bugs have the old bug number in the description, but not all. Best way is to checkout out a pre-pruning BUGS, and use that along with lauchpad. Do we really have many comments with references to open bugs? Yikes. Fixing this is going to take some work -- but I think at the end of the day all comments referring to bugs with a lauchpad bug should have a link there in addition to the old bug number, and all lauchpad bugs originating from BUGS should have the old bug number in the title and be tagged with pre-launchpad. Those comments referring to bugs too old to be in launchpad can be left alone: the bugs would not be in BUGS list of CVS HEAD anyways, since it only contained open bugs. (If someone wants to import historical bugs to Launchpad they are welcome, but I don't see that as a critical task.) Cheers, -- Nikodemus |
