Bug Fixer and Verifier


Yu, Ke <ke.yu@...>
 

Hi KangKang,

One case of the bug process need your input. In bug #467, Josh are both reporter and the one who fix this bug. When he fixed the bug, as a reporter, he also verify the bug according to the process (https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bugzilla_Configuration_and_Bug_Tracking) . I just wonder if it is appropriate that bug fixer and verifier be the same people?

Regards

Ke,

I think that's okay. But if reporter can ask somebody (who is in bug's cc list) to help verify, that will be greater. And it needs to provide master tree's commit info, when mark the bug to "fixed" stage.

BTW, we also defined the bug should not be marked to "fixed", until it has been included in master tree and built into any formal build. Well, this process is not easy to be manually followed. I noticed Bugzilla 4.0 would be released soon. I am hoping we will have automation bug status changing soon (with required bug fixing info added to patch).

Thanks,
Yongkang
