The keywords fixed major and fixed…

The keywords “fixed-major” and “fixed-minor” can be used for tickets that span both a minor and major milestone. A ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. fixed in the major releasemajor release A release, identified by the first two numbers (3.6), which is the focus of a full release cycle and feature development. WordPress uses decimaling count for major release versions, so 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, and 3.1 are sequential and comparable in scope. (and then usually re-opened for minor releaseMinor Release A set of releases or versions having the same minor version number may be collectively referred to as .x , for example version 5.2.x to refer to versions 5.2, 5.2.1, 5.2.3, and all other versions in the 5.2 (five dot two) branch of that software.

A ticket fixed in the minor release (and then usually needs more work for a major release) will not show in reports 3 and 4.

The ticket does need to remain open and set to the minor release milestone, so really it’s just a way for committers get it out of sight, out of mind when appropriate. Eventually a ticket tagged fixed-major will either be backported or not (and closed either way), and a ticket tagged fixed-minor should either be dealt with in a timely fashion, or split into two tickets.

I’m thinking we should introduce a new TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. keyword, needs-refresh, as a better way to classify a ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. with a stale patchpatch A special text file that describes changes to code, by identifying the files and lines which are added, removed, and altered. It may also be referred to as a diff. A patch can be applied to a codebase for testing., removing it from has-patch but keeping it out of the needs-patch bin as well. I’ve added support for it in the first 8 Trac reports (and added it to a single ticket), and we can go from there.

Thanks Dion for coming up with the keyword itself, which we agreed was better than my original one, patch-refresh. 🙂
