[Koha-devel] Hacker's corner week 10

[Marcel de Rooy]

Paul,
This is more than helpful! Very GOOD. I think we should indeed have a weekly mailing of bugs needing attention. Just a few additional remarks:

An alinea with some statistics like you gave would be nice each time. Hopefully, the number of 150 needing signoff goes down (it was like 170).
Pushed to close: imo they should be closed by the one who reported, wrote the patch or signed the patch, and not by someone else.  Mentioning these bugs is not the first issue.
Some abbreviations could be explained: blo=blocker for instance. 
Some of us would maybe like to add a few bug numbers for attention or discussion: would it be handy to open a page on the wiki for that purpose? To mention a few: discussion on 5572 (I mailed the list already, but no response yet). Discuss reopening 2173 (I would favor restoring OpacNav on detail screen). Etc. Etc.

In order to keep drawing attention, the mail should not be too long of course. 

Marcel

Onderwerp: [Koha-devel] Hacker's corner week 10

Hello all,

As announced during the last IRC meeting, i'll try to write a weekly
summary about bugzilla/developer activity : bugs submitted, patches
submitted,...
Let me know if you find this handfull, if you'd like to see another
information, i'll do my best to report what is interesting !

I'll try to announce usually :
* what's new since last week
* what's still waiting

For this 1st mail, i'll concentrate on what's waiting. In one word: it's
huge, *WE NEED YOU*.
Just a few numbers = 102 bugs are "patch pushed" and are waiting for
someone to close them after checking the bug or the feature is OK in master.
149 bugs are "waiting sign-off": remember Koha 3.4 should be released on
late april, and it would be too bad if so many patches were not
integrated just because they have not been signed-off by anyone !

I've added some links on http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Bugzilla
that will let you see the details of what's summarized in this mail.

1- bugs closed
=========
19 bugs were closed last week.

2- bugs pushed to close
==============
There are 102 bugs that have a patch pushed and require someone to check
and close the bug.
The oldest is the 1883, and there are some critical ones, like the 5423,
5611, 4141, 4857, 5041, 5824.

3- bugs to sign-off
===========
There are 149 bugs to sign-off.
#2795 = The oldest is also a CRI one Offline circ tries to circ on
biblio-level "itemtype"
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2975>
#3624 = a BLO one ! a patch has been submitted to update the DB
structure. Without this patch, the DB is inconsistent on update
#5449 = another BLO one ! JSON malformed in Koha - Blocker with jQuery
1.4.x <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5449>
There are 7 CRI, that are waiting for someone to check = 2975, 3652,
4276, 4993, 5027, 5379, 5646.
But the 149 are worth a check, of course.

4- to discuss
========
I also have found that those bugs should/could be discussed
#5009 = Dobrica Pavlinusic <mailto:dpavlin at rot13.org> has submitted a
patch to add autocomplete="off" to borrowernumbers and barcode forms
Owen has closed the bug, I think it's worth more investigation. Please
give your opinion !
#5390 = library choice not remaining when searching opac. Nicole E. ask
an interesting question, jump in the discussion & send a patch if you've
an idea!
#5533 = marking item lost diff in two places, same thing, jump in the
thread Nicole starts !

PS: (once again) congratulations to chris_c => i've searched for patches
signed-off waiting (waiting to move to "pushed, pls test"). It's easy,
there are only 3, 2 of them being only a few hours old, and probably not
here anymore when you'll read this mail.

HTH
