[Koha-devel] Hacker's corner, week 12

[Paul Poulain]

Hello,

What happened this week on koha source code ?

First of all, just a number: 425.
This is the number of mails i've recieved from bugzilla last week. Each
mail is related to a change on a bug. It means we had *a lot* of changes !

1- bugs fixed
========
40 bugs have been marked fixed. Once again, Julian did most of them, but
Liz, Marcel, Jared, Colin and Nicole closed at least one.
The list of bugs "pushed, please close" continues to go lower and lower.
As some have been added to this list, the 55 remaining last week minus
the 34 fixed this week result in ... 40 remaining. I feel something like
20-30 is a "normal" number, so a little effort is still required, but
the situation tend to be better every week.

2- Patches pushed
==========
26 bugs have been pushed at the end of last week.
They are now waiting to be marked "fixed".
Most of the pushed patches are related to bugfixes and/or minor
improvements (ie: an improvement that does not change a lot Koha).
The new features that have been pushed are:
  - a new report for holds has been added
  - A new tool has been added to do "static source code analysis". It
will be used on jenkins (continued integration server) soon, and will
let us know/check the perlish quality of the source code.
 
3- Patches to sign-off
=============
27 patches have been signed-off. Thanks to Katrin, Frédéric, Nicole,
Jared, Julian, Chris_n, Owen, Marcel, that all have signed-off at least
one patch.
The challenge I gave us last week failed: in the mean time, 37 patches
have been set "please sign-off". It means more bugs have been added than
solved ! Once again, I encourage everybody to take a few hours every
week to deal with a few patches.
As of today, 139 patches are waiting for sign-off.

4- to discuss
========
Reminder: every feature or bug that is not signed-off is not integrated
into Koha. It means that the soft you'll install when Koha 3.4 will be
released will either be released with a bug, or without a feature that
can be interesting for everybody.
Sometimes signing-off a patch requires a lot of work, if you need help,
don't hesitate to ask on the bug itself or on koha-devel mailing list.

See you next week for Hacker's corner, week 13 !
