Hey all,
I'm a port maintainer for a single port, and the Bugzilla is complaining
to me about an open report.
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246829)
I'm not a committer, and also don't have any ability to change the state
of the bug other than commenting on it, but this *feels* like pilot
error to me.
As this is a fairly quiet port (only two open issues right now), what is
the correct way to resolve this? (I.e. should I have access to do more
in the bugzilla?)
I'd also like to take over maintainership for a few other ports with a
low thrash rate (just to keep them from going abandoned), so getting
better at this workflow is useful to me.
Best,
Hi Dan,
Bugzilla provides regular notifications to accounts that have issues
(bugs) open with any flag who's value is set to "? <their-email address>"
The purpose of these flags is to request feedback, or ask for something
from a specific account/email/person, and the notifications/reminders
are a way of showing people a list of things that need their feedback
In this case for bug 246829, the flag is the maintainer-feedback flag,
currently set to ? <your-maintainer email)
What people in the values of these flags need to do is to acknowledge
the flag/feedback, by adding a comment, providing a patch or whatever
else, and set the flags value to + or - (depending on the context of the
request)
Setting a flags value (acknowledging it), means that that you wont
receive notifications about that issue, unless and until that flag, or
another flag is set to ? with your email address in its value.
So for this bug, since you've already provided feedback in comment 1, go
ahead and set maintainer-feedback to +
If you believe the issue can be resolved at this point, be sure to
include a comment specifically saying that, and what the resolution
should be
In this case I'd suggest something like:
"This issue can be closed: Not A Bug" as the value provided in
DEFAULT_VERSIONS is not a valid one
