Re: Bug tracker: next steps

Black holes? Excuse me? I'm working my ass off on those bugs I'm responsible for (Yes, I'm a Gentoo dev) whereas you guys have failed to release a decent XEmacs for how long now? I've reported more bugs by mail to this list than you ever reported on Gentoo and the biggest black hole I've seen around is *this* very list. You can cite bugs from your head that have been lingering around for years but you're worried about a bug tracker not being used or if it can be used by email because you're too lazy to use a web-interface. That would be a waste of time. Nobody on this list is much likely to work on years old stuff anyway if it hasn't been done already. How exactly do you think your users feel about this list? Wasting their time to report stuff to this black hole only to see his royal highness Turnbull comment larmoyantly about stuff rotting in the archives. Do you *really* think *years* later users still care about the stuff they reported way back then? They are more likely to have either switched editors long ago or to have lived to learn with the problem. I'm sure, though, you guys will manage to discuss this whole thing to death anyway. Heck, you alone could achieve that... (Yes, I'm very much annoyed about your uninformed rambling about other people's bugtrackers being "black holes".) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
