Re: Application for joining Ubuntu BugControl

 

Sorry because of the delay. Here are the answers:

After selecting to view hidden and backup files, they aren't shown until the window is closed  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1161412>

 * I considered the first thing the user will do is to close the window
   and reopen it, so the bug will be easily workarounded for him.


xSPIM application does not start  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spim/+bug/824084>

 * I changed the "doesn't work in any case" statement to "doesn't work
   with all the Ubuntu releases".
 * I clarified the workaround to not be working in Ubuntu 13.04.
 * Philip Wyett <https://launchpad.net/%7Ephilip-wyett> filed the bug
   to debbugs #670949
   <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=670949> on 2013-04-11.

Dear Thomas,

About these two bugs that were not valid in my application for
joining the Ubuntu BugControl team, I found two great substitutes:

    After selecting to view hidden and backup files, they aren't shown
    until the window is closed
    <https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1161412>

        - I reported the bug myself, with rich detail.
        - I forwarded it upstream.
        - I would give it an importance of "low", since it's an
        usability issue that does not limit the functionality of the
        application.
While using your own bug reports in applications to the Ubuntu Bug
Control team is generally frowned upon the work of forwarding the bug is
the same and the forward (and bug watch) look good.  I think I would
give this an importance of at least Medium though as it makes it hard to
find these files.

    xSPIM application does not start
    <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spim/+bug/824084>

        - I explained how this package dependencies where not correctly met.
        - I confirmed the bug was still there many releases after.
        - I tagged all the affected releases.
        - I reported the bug was still there and not as imagined by
        other user.
        - I added a work-around.
What does "doesn't work in any case" mean there?

        - I would give it an importance of "high", since prevents the
        application from functioning at all and the work-around won't
        always on any Ubuntu release.
Could you clarify in which releases the workaround works in the bug?

This looks good but looking in Debian for the bug report and adding a
bug watch for it would have helped too.
