for Thursday, November 19th. Nov 18: 859 open tickets. Nov 19: 861 open tickets. Nov 20: 862 open tickets. Lots of activity on the bug list (20-30 tickets created/changed/closed) yesterday, but the total count is still going up.... -- Marshall There are still 96 active tickets with a milestone (as in 'to be fixed in') of Boost 1.36.0 https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/milestone/Boost%201.36.0 I will be looking at #2115 today.

Random question: do you close tickets when the fix arrives on the release branch, or when they hit the trunk?
I close tickets when the fix arrives on the release branch; but that's so I don't forget to merge across. I don't think we have a general policy on that. -- Marshall (who has fixed bugs and forgotten to merge to release before - and been embarrassed about it)

From the point of view of a user, that would be a very good policy to put in place. I've tracked many bugs in the past that were fixed and closed, but only on trunk (and remained so across 1 or more releases). Thanks, -Steve

Marshall, while I have no idea if more detailed reports are possible/easy using Trac, it seems to me that the reporting style above does not effectively encourage individual contribution. A report with top bug fixers, or report with deltas per component would show one's effort more prominently. - Volodya

Sorry about that... been busy reopening Boost.Integer issues... the count should go back down again soon though...
Don't be sorry about it! If they're real bugs (and they're not fixed), they should be in tickets. The goal here is to fix bugs. Counting the number of open tickets is a (hopefully accurate) way of measuring that, but it is not (quite) the same. -- Marshall

Very nice! IMHO, bugs that are marked as "showstoppers" should be dealt with before a release. (If you can release with open "showstopper"s, then they didn't stop the show, did they?) -- Marshall

I'll be less ambitious, what about requesting less that 15 Showstoppers and less than 7 Regressions for the next release, 1.42? We could decrease to 7-4 for 1.43 and finally 0-0 for 1.44.

That's not the direction that we want to go, folks. ;-)
For the Bug sprint I would like to see reduced the number of bugs. This do not means that the other are not important. We have a problem because Patches could concern Bugs or feature requests. I purpose to Move all the patches to the corresponding category and add a new field to state if there is a patch available or not. Could you provide a query reports of the number of bugs by component, number of patches by component, ... I would like we try also to reduce the number of bugs by library. Why not having as goal that no library has more than 30 bugs? Here they are the libraries having more than 30 tickets: thread 62 date_time 48 iostreams 40 test 40 Python 39 Do the concerned authors agree to try to reduce these figures?

Most people don't bother. You're best of ignoring the milestone altogether. Daniel

It means that somehow, in the past, someone expected that the bug would be fixed in the 1.36 (say) release, but it hasn't been fixed yet. -- Marshall P.S. I'm encouraging people to look at those bugs because they've been around for a long time.....
