The README is now gutted, pointers to Guide. Also some new sections added, old ones fixed, and notes appended to deprecated sections I've not yet had the heart to remove. git-svn-id: svn://10.0.0.236/trunk@93058 18797224-902f-48f8-a5cc-f745e15eee43

>Bugzilla could be more proactive in detecting suboptimal situations and<br>
|
|
prevent them or whine about them.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
1. Bugzilla Crime #1: Marking A Bug Fixed With Unresolved Dependencies<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
It can't be marked fixed with unresolved dependencies. Either mark it<br>
|
|
INVALID (tracking bugs), fix the dependencies at the same time, or<br>
|
|
resolve the blockers.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
See "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24496".<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
2. Keyword Restrictions<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Some keywords should only apply in certain circumstances, eg beta1 =><br>
|
|
Milestone <<br>
|
|
M14, css1 => Component = Style System are possibilities. See<br>
|
|
"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26940".<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
3. Whine About Old Votes<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Old votes can just sit on resolved bugs. This is problematic with<br>
|
|
duplicates especially. Automatic transferral/removal is not<br>
|
|
appropriate since bugs can be reopened, but a whining solution might<br>
|
|
work. See "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27553".<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
4. Whine And Warn About Milestone Mismatches<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Here's a fun one. Bug X (M17) depends on Bug Y (M15). Bug Y gets moved<br>
|
|
out to M19. The notification to the assignee of Bug X gets ignored (of<br>
|
|
course) and Bug X is now due to be fixed before one of its blockers.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Warnings about this when it is detected as well as whining about it in<br>
|
|
email would help bring these issues to the attention of people sooner.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Note that this would be less of a problem if we didn't have so many<br>
|
|
tracking bugs since they aren't updated that often and often have this<br>
|
|
problem.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
