The Trac software which -comes along with a Subversion frontend, a Wiki and a ticket reporting system -is used as an interface between developers, users and contributors in order to -make the whole development process much easier and efficient. - -We make distinction between two kinds of people within the Trac system: - -\begin{itemize} -\item developers, able to report, close and fix tickets -\item reporters, able to add a comment, patch, or request ticket status -\end{itemize} - -\subsubsection{Opening a ticket} - -A reporter might want to open a ticket for the following reasons: - -\begin{itemize} -\item a bug affects a specific hardware and/or software and needs to be fixed -\item a specific software package would be seen as part of the official OpenWrt repository -\item a feature should be added or removed from OpenWrt -\end{itemize} - -Regarding the kind of ticket that is open, a patch is welcome in those cases: - -\begin{itemize} -\item new package to be included in OpenWrt -\item fix for a bug that works for the reporter and has no known side effect -\item new features that can be added by modifying existing OpenWrt files -\end{itemize} - -Once the ticket is open, a developer will take care of it, if so, the ticket is marked -as "accepted" with the developer name. You can add comments at any time to the ticket, -even when it is closed. - -\subsubsection{Closing a ticket} - -A ticket might be closed by a developer because: - -\begin{itemize} -\item the problem is already fixed (wontfix) -\item the problem described is not judged as valid, and comes along with an explanation why (invalid) -\item the developers know that this bug will be fixed upstream (wontfix) -\item the problem is very similar to something that has already been reported (duplicate) -\item the problem cannot be reproduced by the developers (worksforme) -\end{itemize} - -At the same time, the reporter may want to get the ticket closed since he is not -longer able to trigger the bug, or found it invalid by himself. - -When a ticket is closed by a developer and marked as "fixed", the comment contains -the subversion changeset which corrects the bug. |
