Friends, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I have added a tracker for 2.2.28[0] (and also cleaned up the 2.2.27 |
| 7 |
tracker). I've added all the bugs we've already fixed in git as |
| 8 |
blockers, and also some bugs I think we should be looking to fix for |
| 9 |
2.2.8; some of which I'll be looking to work on myself. If you |
| 10 |
disagree with any of these, please feel free to remove them, but tell |
| 11 |
me why you disagree. If you have other bugs, please add them, and |
| 12 |
maybe describe them shortly here. I've mostly only addressed |
| 13 |
documentation and emerge bugs. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Note that I've added some very old bugs simply because we need to get |
| 16 |
in control of the mess -- so quite a few of them are likely RESOLVE |
| 17 |
OBSOLETE candidates. But we need to resolve them rather than leave |
| 18 |
them to rot. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Also note that if the bugs I've added aren't fixed, but we still need |
| 21 |
a new release for some reason, that's fine, we'll just release it, and |
| 22 |
change them to block the next tracker. But I want to encourage adding |
| 23 |
as many bugs as possible as blockers, simply so we don't lose sight of |
| 24 |
them. The small clerical task of updating a field is a small price to |
| 25 |
pay when compared to bugs rotting. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Here are some bugs I have not added as blockers at the moment, but I |
| 28 |
think maybe we (and by we, I guess I mostly mean Zac for most of |
| 29 |
them...) should try to add a sort of step-by-step task for solving |
| 30 |
them, as I think they are important: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
[1] Bug 175808 (circular-deps) - emerge should intelligently solve |
| 33 |
circular dependencies triggered by flags such as USE="doc" |
| 34 |
[2] Bug 449094 Support for "passthru subslots" to rebuild all the |
| 35 |
reverse dependency graph. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
If you know of others, please post them. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
If I've missed something else, please let me know. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Lastly, I'm going to update the wiki a bit. Clean it up slightly, and |
| 42 |
add a "Current activity" section where I talk a bit about 2.2.28 and |
| 43 |
the bugs we hope to fix. Maybe list some low-hanging fruits for the |
| 44 |
release (and in general), and post them around on reddit or whatever |
| 45 |
to try to generate some interest in the project. |
| 46 |
