[Opensim-dev] On Patches and Mantis

[Alan M Webb]

Yes, but is it just visibility that accounts for the patches being lost?

I have no basis for an opinion (i.e. IMTUO), but it seems to me like 
making better
use of Mantis would be the way to go.

Why don't the patches get applied? Are there too many of them? Is the 
testing too 
troublesome? Does Mantis somehow make managing patches harder? It seemed
like quite a nice defect mamager when I looked at it. And most importantly 
I think, it
does give us a single place to go and look to see when and why a patch was 

applied (if we routed all changes through it that is).

Best regards
Alan

Well, the reason I suggest the mailing list, is Mantis isn't working
right now.  Lots of stale patches in there not getting dealt with.
Trying the mailing list approach for a while seems to be at least
something different. :)

There are currently 379 unassigned & open mantis issues.  Last time I
did a purge (a couple of weeks ago) there were 250.  It would be nice to
get that number going in the other direction. :)

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
