Hi, It seems people are starting to use Bugzilla to report bugs. This is good. I have no idea how to use Bugzilla. This is bad. Are there instructions somewhere? How's it all work? Thanks. N |

There is the web interface, which has mostly a self-containing documentation hidden behind all the knobs on the bug forms, see http://bugs.kde.org/queryhelp.cgi There is also a mail interface which is mostly undocumented and a xml query interface (used by offline tools like kbugbuster). Anyway, if there is a more specific question, just ask. Dirk |

Ok, playing around, I think I understand the mechanics ok. But I'm not sure about the human processes involved, ie. how people should actually use it. All bugs are going to Julian, it seems... does anyone else get told about them? Dirk, you seem to know about them, is that because you checked the list manually, or have you setup auto-notification somehow? Valgrind's still small enough that I'd like to know about every bug, I think. How do bugs get assigned... we need some kind of guidelines or something? Thanks. N |

Might it be better for new bugs to come to the developer list rather
than Julian given how busy he tends to be?

How do bugs get assigned... we need some kind of > guidelines or something? well, by default bugs are assigned to the "owner" of the selected component. you can reassign them to other components or to yourself by choosing the reassign to xxxx or reassign to owner of selected component fields. we can change the intial owner to be the mailinglist here, but then somebody would need to fix the setup to allow any poster (since the mails look like being posted by the people adding/modifying a bug). |

So if I watch Julian I'll see them all? That sounds good. Better than sending to vg-dev, because (a) not everyone might want to hear about every bug, but more importantly (b) it's probably best to avoid partly discussing bugs within Bugzilla and partly on the mailing list; better to keep it all within Bugzilla.

You'll see changes to every bug assigned to Julian, reported by Julian or commented by Julian. Unless you configure your email settings under: http://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email different from the default. Dirk |
