Closing feature requests and bugs
Stable package
When a feature request or a bug (both an issue) relating to stable package is solved in CVS, it shall be closed not immediately, but only after a final release containing the solution is out. A note that the issue has been solved in CVS, including in which beta or RC version it has been solved, can be posted into the issue though.
Unstable package
When an issue relating to unstable package is solved in CVS, it shall be closed only after the solution has been made available in another beta or RC release in instable package.
For each release being developed, we create two groups: one "FreeMind X.Y.Z" and one "FreeMind X.Y.Z - Fixed in CVS". We then use the groups in the following manner:
- Note
- for sake of simplicity, we assume X.Y.Z is the version being currently developed, and A.B.C an older version of FreeMind.
- items with no or with older group like "FreeMind A.B.C" can be checked by helpers with sufficient rights, and closed if issue doesn't appear anymore in the latest beta/RC of X.Y.Z, else group is changed to the current version "FreeMind X.Y.Z".
- items with current version group "FreeMind X.Y.Z" can be fixed by a developer, then moved into group "FreeMind X.Y.Z - Fixed in CVS".
- testers check items with group "FreeMind X.Y.Z - Fixed in CVS", and close if OK (after next release), else setup back to group "FreeMind X.Y.Z".
