Bug tracking & defualt.conf

[jmccay]

   Is Sourceforge still used for bug tracking?  Or is there something else?  I clicked on the link and it brought me to sourceforge's bug tracking system.  I entered the bug there.

   On a side note (but related to the bug), is there a discussion on the format of the default.conf file?  I could probably guess at a lot of it, but I was wondering if there was already a discusion I can browse.

   Thank you, and the subversion latest stuff looks great!  Except for a minor crash, the new stuff looks cool--especially the wxSmith stuff.  Good job.

Yep that's the place

The current problem with sourceforge is that the actual version we're working on is now completely different from the RC2 which is at sourceforge. Most bug reports that we get in the forums, are for SVN HEAD.

Frankly I disagree with this, we should use Sourceforge to track bugs in SVN, too. This way we could get rid of unnecessary bug reports in the forums.

This would make development much easier.

Of course, some RC2 bugs are yet to be fixed

In fact I think that when C::B gets bigger, we should use Bugzilla as a bug tracker. Every major piece of OSS seems to be using it for some reason.
Aside, it can be integrated with the webpage, which would motivate testers to post bugs there (because sf.net tracker is perhaps a little uncomfortable).

Even if only to see what's out there, take a look at Trac. It's free software that integrates a Wiki, ticket (bug, feature request, patches) tracking system, and subversion source browser in one very slick interface... absolutely amazing.

I use Trac for all my (really small) projects:

Yeah I know Trac, and I like the SVN integration it haves.
Just anything else other than sf.net trackers is more comfortable.

Like the Sourceforge setup, I've actually found Bugzilla is also very burdensome to use. The learning curve is such that regular users are discouraged from posting bug reports. On the other hand, with a link to the Trac tickets page, adding a ticket is what I and some of my non-developer friends have seen as a straightforward process.

I am not by any means saying Trac is perfect. I'm aware of several issues with it right now and have done a bit of dev work on that. It lacks some features that more "established" project tracking software packages have and it's what I see as a big limitation. I have high hopes that they will get these fixed and make Trac even more attractive than it already is.

Maybe my contribution to the Trac project is an automatic importer to bring all of the Sourceforge bug reports/feature requests into a new Trac projects as tickets.  :shock: You can set it to use an established svn repository and it'll read all the existing logs.

I've just set up a bugzilla installation at work for internal bug reporting. Everyone seems very happy with it

I could not find your bug report (found another one regarding crashes when clicking the "..." button, but cannot reproduce that).

What is the problem with the config file that you have experienced?

[jmccay]

I just updates that bug report (the "..." one is the correct bug report).  I did further testing, and it only happens when I try to edit an existing entry, and browse the directories.  With no project open, it crashes, and with a project open, it doesn't crash.  I can add stuff to the existing text if I don't press the "..." button.  I wrote up a more complex description in the comments of the bug report just now.

I just installed build 1534, and the problem is gone.  Good job.  Thank you.

Hmmm... question: did anyone fix this? *cough* *cough*

I could not reproduce the problem, no matter what I tried, so I did nothing...  :?


Is the bug back if you revert to an older version (just for trying)?

[rickg22]

BTW, yesterday I compiled C::B, but suddenly my debug toolbar is gone! Does it have anything to do with the CRC issue? Should I delete the default.conf ? Thx.

[killerbot]

just delete  the

 ...crc...
</LAYOUT>
part

Thanks!
