Re: [birt-pmc] Separate bug tracker?

["Jesse Weinstein" <jesse.weinstein@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is important to get an answer to Wayne’s question:

 

What does the "T56886" in "[BZ]TimeZone is not passed to ScriptContext(T56886)" mean?

Having transparency in the bug tracker is as important as having transparency in the code repository.

 

I also note that the git repo hasn’t been updated since Saturday. There haven’t been many bugs modified in that time (the only one I found was https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=402798 ) but if there have been changes, please do run a `git push` so the rest of the world can see them.

Subject: [birt-pmc] Separate bug tracker?

 

I noticed the "Txxxx" numbers some time ago. I swear that I posted a question about them on a bug, but I can't find it now.

What does the "T56886" in "[BZ]TimeZone is not passed to ScriptContext(T56886)" mean?

Regarding the 2^nd point, about public bug reports – here are some examples of commit messages that appear to refer to a private, non-Eclipse-hosted bug tracking system:

https://git.eclipse.org/c/birt/org.eclipse.birt.git/commit/?id=956ee36d507d5ce4a32e5a35adf15fb6355301a8

[BZ]TimeZone is not passed to ScriptContext(T56886)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=56886 is a Platform bug closed in 2006.

While the actual bugzilla entry is https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=399055

 

https://git.eclipse.org/c/birt/org.eclipse.birt.git/commit/?id=b6947ee83cbe29242645b36670b211f697b4849a

            Fix NPE is thrown out when insert chart into list #59066

            https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59066 is a JDT duplicate closed in 2004.

 

There are many other instances visible in https://git.eclipse.org/c/birt/org.eclipse.birt.git/log/
