Upstream request for Evolution bugs filling

[HggdH]

Hello all,

I wrongly sent this originally to the bughelper mailing list, instead
of here...

Please read the forwarded email below.

(In our case, most of the times a bug will be entered in LP, and
eventually one of us opens (or links) a bug upstream.)

When opening the bug upstream, please follow the instructions mbarnes
points out -- assign the package as Evolution, and component as
BugBuddyBugs (and not Mailer, Calendar, etc).

Thanks,

..hggdh..

Subject: Attn Evolution packagers: new Bugzilla component for Bug-Buddy
reports
Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:23:03 -0500

The Evolution product in Bugzilla gets overwhelmed with useless crash
reports from Bug Buddy and it makes searching for open and actionable
bug reports more difficult for us maintainers.

In an attempt to partition these Bug Buddy submissions from confirmed
bugs, I've created a new "BugBuddyBugs" Bugzilla component for Evolution
and have updated the evolution.desktop file to submit bugs to this new
category [1].  This is already in today's 2.12.3 release and will also
be in the 2.21.5 release next week.

Once confirmed, these Bug Buddy bugs will be moved to the appropriate
product and component in Bugzilla.

I would like to ask Evolution packagers to patch older releases of their
distros to submit crash reports to the new Bugzilla component so that we
can begin to clean up the other Bugzilla components.  I pushed updates
for all supported Fedora releases over the weekend and we're already
starting to see hits [2].

Thanks,
Matthew Barnes
