I propose a
team goal that R14 is not released with any
unresolved Blocker, Critical, or Major
bug reports. Possibly
even add 40 to 50% of the Normal reports too. Is this
doable? Agreeable?
+1 - we will sell no wine until it's time....
There is a huge unrecognized benefit in taking a few
extra weeks to clean everything up before a release compared to the time/manpower
required after release to correct bugs easily squashed before release. R14
should be as clean as we can make it :)
Curious, I ran some queries in the bugzilla. Here are the number of unresolved open bug
reports in the aforementioned categories:
Blocker: 22 (11 with patches)
Critical: 24 (2 with patches)
Major: 67 (4 with patches)
Normal: 144 (9 with patches)
Total of the above: 257
Total bug reports related to building/compiling: 36
Total open unresolved bug reports, all levels, not tagged as wishes or enhancement
reports: 346
How many of these bug reports remain current and valid remains to be seen.
Enhancement/wish list requests: 116
Proposed R14 release date per wiki: Spring 2012. June 19 is the last day of spring, which
means 104 days. To resolve all Blocker, Critical, Major and 50% of Normal bug reports
means 185 bug reports resolved. That means 1.8 bug reports per day. To resolve all Normal
bugs in the same period means 2.5 bug reports per day. To resolve all unclosed bug reports
means 3.3 bug reports per day. Assuming no new bug reports being filed.
