[mdt-ocl.dev] Re: Tagging Bugzilla Entries
|
Ed,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
The plan looks for a the release flag (e.g. helios) to be set, the keyword 'plan' to be present (potentially among others), and the Status Whiteboard to contain specific strings (themes) in combination. I suspect it should be possible for you to put other text in the whiteboard field, should you wish to do so, without adversely affecting the plan.
Cheers,
Kenn

Ed,
I don't see a problem with using the whiteboard field, as long
as this doesn't conflict with the way it is being consumed by the plan.
This is my concern. Since I cannot find any documentation on what
'consumed by the plan' means, I cannot tell what might conflict with it.
Does the plan only use a set of known Whiteboard words if a
helios/galileo flag is set, or is the entire entry used when a flag is
set or ...?
Most other teams just prefix the bug subject with the
topic/category, e.g. [library] ...,
That is my ultimate fallback.
or use keywords.
This only works if the required keywords are defined by the Bugzilla
admin.
I suppose another alternative would be to use the URL field in
some clever way; for example, I've suggested the Papyrus team use this
as a way of matching bugs with corresponding documentation on the wiki,
although I don't know how robust the search support is for this field...
wiki correlation seems like a good usage for this. RE-using for bug
tagging could conflict.
Cheers,
Kenn

Hi
We agreed to tag each Bugzilla with a project area name so that we
could easily find related bugs.
I tagged Bug 152207 with the tag "ibrary", as a result of which, I get
offered a named search for "library".
Just what I wanted.
However I think this is a preference feature for me not for the team.
If you select https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=152207
do you see "library" in the penultimate line on the page above "Add"
"the named tag" ...?
Assuming you can't, http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#What_is_the_Whiteboard
suggests that
to use "library" as a keyword requires assistance from Bugzilla Admin.
The general Bugzilla pages
suggest that the Status Whiteboard is for "us", but since it has a
special contribution to the project
plan generation I'm worried that if we use it we mess up an
undocumented Eclipse facility.
Kenn: can we use the Status Whiteboard for our team annotations?
Else we must change titles to [library] .... which doesn't work well
for multi-area bugs.
