bug-tracker

[Andreas Röhler]

Hi folks,

when checking

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-issues.html

for bugs I'm hanting, couldn't find it.

And really, looks very homebrewn WRT org-mode itself.

What about using some of the tools around?

Mirroring the stuff at github would provide a tracker just by the way...

Cheers,

Andreas

Or you use debbugs.gnu.org, which hosts the Emacs bugtracker. Some of
the org bugs will arrive there anyway, from people using "M-x
report-emacs-bug".

<advertisement>
And there are debbugs.el and debbugs-gnu.el, which allow access to the
bugs from inside Emacs. I could imagine a debbugs-org.el as well, which
translates bugs into org tasks, or whatever.

Fine for me.
With exception of the noise, M-x report-emacs-bugs tends to send.

Herewith is a slim version, adapted to org-mode AFAIU

Why do you want to code all the nasty bits yourself? There is
`reporter-submit-bug-report' of reporter.el, which you could customize
to your needs.

Compare, how Tramp uses it in `tramp-bug' (Ha! another advertisement!).

Is it OK to report bugs for upstream/development versions through
`report-emacs-bugs', though? I always thought this should only be used
for stuff that's actually bundled with Emacs (what about bugs in
org/contrib, for instance?).

debbugs.gnu.org is not only for Emacs. See
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/db/ix/packages.html> which other projects are
hosted there. "gnus" is a prominent example for a subpackage of Emacs
with an own bug package using debbugs.gnu.org.

An alternative approach is tagging bugs of a project with your package
name. See existing user tags of project emacs at
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgindex.cgi?indexon=usertag;user=emacs>. "cedet"
uses this mechanism already.

And shame on me, Tramp doesn't use debbugs.gnu.org (yet).

I know. I'm the guy who started using those tags for CEDET. :-)

I was always under the impression that those tags are merely a way for,
well, tagging bugs, so that you can search for them.  Same for
packages. I didn't know that this also implied that you're encouraged to
report bugs against upstream packages, possibly for features which are
not yet in Emacs (or may even never land there, like some stuff in
org/contrib, cedet/contrib, etc.).

Org already uses one of its own: org-submit-bug-report

Ah, and it collects some useful org-mode stuff.
So it remains to combine that collection with posting onto the tracker.

Really not eager for that, as there are a lot of interesting things to do.
BTW didn't much more deleting lines...

Hmm, maybe you are fastest just to copy a version with org-mode in the slots.

That may replace org-submit-bug-report, if Bastien and the others agree.

This must be discussed with the Emacs maintainers, of course. If org
error reports will contain a substantial part of non-core Emacs
problems, an own debbugs package "org" might be better. Reports arriving
via the Emacs report chain could be reassigned to both packages
"emacs,org" then.

I recommend to contact Glenn Morris.

I believe it is better written by org maintainers. They know much better
which kind of information is needed.

Okay. Seems we should wait for some more info WRT to proceeding at debbugs.
If Bastien wants to go this way at all...

BTW personally I'm in favor of an own debbugs package "org".

Maybe we could add an alias such as `M-x report-org-bugs' to mimick that one?
