[Koha-devel] Testing patches with a lot of comments

[Paul Poulain]

Hello koha-devel,

I sometimes face patches that have a lot of comments, more than one
patch, and it's not always easy to understand how to test the proposed
patches.
We need the following things to be very clearly explained:
* test case / step to reproduce
* which patch(es) to apply
(* anything else ?)

Does anyone see a way to have those points clearly displayed/described
in the bug ?

For example, look at bug
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5549, about
hourly loans = 33 comments, it has only 2 small patches, it's clear more
things are needed, maybe the git repo in comment 1. Or is it the one in
comment 3? which repo does comment 6 use ? Maybe it's comment 25 in
fact. Anyway, it's quite unclear, and, even with all my willingness, I
don't know how/what to test.

I took this example just because Eliott rises this bug a few hours ago
on this ML. But it's not a single case.

If anyone has a suggestion, it's welcomed !!!
