pseudo-tag management in the bts
Tonight, I started doing some major dpkg bug triage. To faciliate handling
the large number of bugs, I started retitling lots of them, with the following
keywords.
To query these keywords, add '&include=subj:[DOC]', for example. You can
specify multiple include(or exclude) options, on the query given to
pkgreport.cgi.
The text below will become part of debian/pseudo-tags, which will be installed
into /usr/share/doc/dpkg. I'm hoping that if we can follow this procedure, it
should make working with our bugs much simpler.
(I haven't retitled all bugs. The ones I have done were simple to see which
category they applied to, by reading their existing titles)
====
Below are the list of pseudo-tags we, the Dpkg Team, are using in the
Debian BTS. Place as many of the following as apply in the subject(title)
of your bug report.
[DOC] Documentation bugs, including --help, manpages, and
others
[ARCH] Archtable updates, porting patches
[INTL] Translation updates, or bugs
[ASSERT] assert errors
[UTF-8] conversion to utf-8 encoding
[SEGFAULT] segfaults
[CONFFILE] any issues with conffile handling
Also, each program that dpkg produces(in any of it's debs) has a
pseudo-tag for it.
