As soon as there is some sort consensus I will change it. Below is the list of current possibilities.
N/A Not yet reported upstream; Will do shortly. Reported upstream. Little or no feedback. Reported upstream. Developers acknowledge bug. Reported upstream. Developers deny it's a bug. Fixed upstream, in a later stable release. Fixed upstream, but not in a stable release. Workaround found; Bug reported upstream. Completely fixed; Fix reported upstream. None of the above - read trac for reasoning. Personally I think all except the "Reported upstream. Little or no feedback" above options are clear and have a valid use case. The only thing I'm missing (and already missed in the past) was a status wich you give the ticket shortly after you posted the bug. Althoug the status: "Reported upstream. Little or no feedback." is technically speaking true in this situation it has a very heavy undertone saying "they are ignoring our bug report". Just look how unpolite the just 24 hours ago opened ticket http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/11664 is for the singular people. So I have two proposals: 1. change: "Reported upstream. Little or no feedback." to "Reported upstream. Waiting for reply" 2. Add a new option: "Reported upstream. Waiting for reply" I'm slightly in favour for option 1. Because we already have quite a large list of options. And we could also use the "Reported upstream. Waiting for reply" status for cases where they didn't reply after a long time. And since you can also see on a ticket when it was reported upstream you can always conclude for yourself if they didn't reply for a long time. Also since the changing of the status from "Waiting for reply" to "Little of no feedback" is a manual thing which I guess will often be forgotten I think it's better not to have the status "Reported upstream. Little or no feedback." ps. My proposal is basically the same of that of leif, but I like my naming better for some reason. Because "waiting" is a state in which you can be and "no response yet" is not. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
