1 mmm.... yes java@g.o would be a good place instead of here to email
2 it.

4 Basically the aim I have for this is too draw the attention of you dev's to
5 bugs that are a 'quick' fix.
6
7 Therefore meeting the aim of closing bugs without you guys having to do most
8 of the investigation...
9
10 I have also though of going thru bugs.gentoo.org and reassigning the
11 priority of bugs into categories (rather a large job for anyone who has
12 other projects they want to get kicking).
13
14 eg (as a very ruff guess)
15 So P1 would be for security exploits and the like.
16 P2 would be for ebuild related buys
17 P3 ebuild request
18 P4 ebuild request that are extremely difficult (or just can't happen because
19 of lack of resources)
20 P5 (something even worse than above)
21
22 I also believe that there should be some bugs marked as WONTFIX, CANTFIX.
23
24 For example jboss https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148383 and
25 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66965
26
27 I believe, and it will be interesting in hereing your views on this, that
28 bugs should only be open if they are actually going to be worked on. With
29 jboss we now have a binary ebuild in the overlay that could replace the
30 existing versions and these jboss bugs could be closed.
31
32 What do you guys think?
