Hello,
I was looking at the list of ubuntu bugs for macbook in launchpad, and I see
135 results when searching for "macbook". Most of these results are
"undecided" or "new" (or both). Some of those are quite old.
I'm considering buying a macbook pro (santa rosa version), and I'm
wondering...
1. Is the macbook bug triage situation representative similar to those for,
say, thinkpads? I notice Thinkpads have more bugs listed, but also I think a
higher percent are confirmed instead of undecided/new. There are also many
known bugs with the new MBPs that are not listed in launchpad, but
detailed at ubuntuforums.org.
2. If I joined the bugsquad, what is the policy on triaging bugs that you
submit yourself? I mean, if you submit a full bug report in accordance with
the ubuntu debuggingprocedures wiki, and nobody responds for a week or more,
can you just confirm your own bug?
2(a) - if the answer to #2 is no, how does one go about pinging a particular
bug to get attention towards it?
Anyway, thank you for reading this. It seems like with the tens of thousands
of reported bugs, the bugsquad has a lot of work on its hands. Launchpad looks
like a really good tool for the job. I kinda wish that the developement of
ubuntu would skip a cycle just so you all had a fair chance to catch up on
everything :)
I want you to know that end users like me really appreciate the volunteer
effort put in by bugsquad members into the QA process. You make a
difference.
sincerely,
Brian
