The Bug Tracker Cleanup Initiative - Winter 2010
It's that time again to look through the Bug Tracker, only this time we're gonna try and squash as much as we can. The Bug Tracker Cleanup Initiative which promotes community and personal involvement and investment in Odamex. This will hopefully lead to a healthier, more manageable project for our programmers and encourage project growth.
The way to get involved is easy! All you have to do is use this
compiled list of currently outstanding bugs and attempt to reproduce any of the bugs in the list that haven't been tested yet.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
==ALWAYS USE THE MOST RECENT REVISION==
Your job is to identify or try to reproduce the bug in your current client.
PLEASE SPECIFY YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM AND THE REVISION YOU ARE RUNNING ('version' command in either client or server will output this information).
SPECIFY WHICH BUGS YOU HAVE TESTED AND YOUR RESULTS.
If during your testing, you have any new information on how to reproduce a bug, you should report any new findings to both the bug tracker and this thread immediately.
If you cannot reproduce the bug but are not sure that it is corrected, please specify that you cannot reproduce. This may or may not be the most common response we'll receive. We'll have to see how this goes.
While it is important to find any new information on a bug, it is not the main goal of this program. The main goal is simply put to determine the legitimacy of any bugs still in the tracker (some of which have been open for over 3 years!). However if you do find new information pertaining to an outstanding bug, PLEASE REPORT IT!
Do not waste your time with any grayed out bugs in the list as they are usually enhancement bugs or something similar that detail implementation of a feature rather than an existing issue.
The projected goal is to report and complete the status of all current open bugs on this list by February 5th. Let's see if we can pull together and help get the ball rolling even faster towards an Odamex 0.5 release.
