Bugzilla Housecleaning Processes
Contents
Introduction
As discussed at the June 10, 2009 and June 17, 2009 PMC meetings, we will follow these Bugzilla housecleaning processes to ensure Bugzilla defects and enhancements reflect the current state of the project.
These Bugzilla housecleaning processes are intended to communicate a clear statement to the open-source community and our consuming products that TPTP is in maintenance mode and is only focusing on unresolved defects relative to our current resource levels. Our intent here is to solicit feedback via email and Bugzilla to determine those enhancements/defects of importance to the open-source community and our consuming products. In addition, we hope the open-source community will response with contributions/resources to address some of these enhancements/defects, similar to the outcome of the TPTP 4.5 Component Reorganization.
Bugzilla housecleaning will be completed at the end of each TPTP release.
Enhancements
Unresolved Enhancements
- All unresolved (UNCONFIRMED or NEW or ASSIGNED or REOPENED) and untargeted (--- or Future or future) enhancements will be resolved as WONTFIX1 with the housecleaned<xyz>2 whiteboard tag and the follow comment:
1 Enhancements reopened with a Description Document, code, and test cases should be triaged by the Project Lead and targeted to the current or upcoming TPTP release so the enhancement is not housecleaned at the end of the current TPTP release.
2 Where:
- x is the major segment of the current TPTP release (for example, 4 for TPPT 4.6.0).
- y is the minor segment of the current TPTP release (for example, 6 for TPPT 4.6.0).
- z is the service segment of the current TPTP release (for example, 0 for TPPT 4.6.0).
Housecleaned Enhancements
Unresolved enhancements have been housecleaned in the following releases:
Defects
Newer Unresolved Defects
- For all unresolved (UNCONFIRMED or NEW or ASSIGNED or REOPENED) and untargeted (--- or Future or future) defects opened less than 2 years before the General Availability (GA) date of the current TPTP release (for example, opened between June 24, 2007 - June 24, 2009 for TPTP 4.6), the following reminder email1 will be sent by the Project Lead to the originator of the defect:
<defect list>
1 If the originator of the defect has an inactive Bugzilla account (for example, inactive email address), the defect is triaged by the Project Lead and if no longer relevant, resolved as WONTFIX with the housecleaned<xyz>2 whiteboard tag and the follow comment:
2 Where:
- x is the major segment of the current TPTP release (for example, 4 for TPPT 4.6.0).
- y is the minor segment of the current TPTP release (for example, 6 for TPPT 4.6.0).
- z is the service segment of the current TPTP release (for example, 0 for TPPT 4.6.0).
Older Unresolved Defects
- All unresolved (UNCONFIRMED or NEW or ASSIGNED or REOPENED) and untargeted (--- or Future or future) defects opened more than 2 years before the General Availability (GA) date of the current TPTP release (for example, opened on or before June 23, 2007 for TPTP 4.6, released on June 24, 2009) will be resolved1 as WONTFIX with the housecleaned<xyz>2 whiteboard tag and the follow comment:
1 All defects must be triaged by the Project Lead before resolving as WONTFIX to determine if any should be added to the defect plan for the next TPTP release.
2 Where:
- x is the major segment of the current TPTP release (for example, 4 for TPPT 4.6.0).
- y is the minor segment of the current TPTP release (for example, 6 for TPPT 4.6.0).
- z is the service segment of the current TPTP release (for example, 0 for TPPT 4.6.0).
Newer Resolved/Unverified Defects
- For all resolved and unverified defects resolved less than 1 year before the General Availability (GA) date of the current TPTP release (for example, opened between June 24, 2008 - June 24, 2009 for TPTP 4.6), the following reminder email1 will be sent by the Project Lead to the originator of the defect:
<defect list>
1 If the originator of the defect has an inactive Bugzilla account (for example, inactive email address), the defect is verified by the Project Lead and verified/closed with the follow comment:
Older Resolved/Unverified Defects
- All resolved and unverified defects resolved more than 1 year before the General Availability (GA) date of the current TPTP release (for example, opened on or before June 23, 2008 for TPTP 4.6, released on June 24, 2009) will be verified/closed1 with the closed<xyz>2 whiteboard tag and the follow comment:
1 Bugzillas resolved as a duplicate of another Bugzilla will not be verified/closed.
2 Where:
- x is the major segment of the current TPTP release (for example, 4 for TPPT 4.6.0).
- y is the minor segment of the current TPTP release (for example, 6 for TPPT 4.6.0).
- z is the service segment of the current TPTP release (for example, 0 for TPPT 4.6.0).
