Note: Work in progress
A bugtracker is a software application used by developers for keeping tracks of reported bugs in their work.
[edit] Bugtrackers benefits
Bugtrackers give both developers and users a lot of benefits.
Developers:
- They are notified when a bug is found in their applications
- They keep track of reported bugs so that they can organize their work
- They can easily communicate with reporters if they need more information or further testing
Users:
- They can easily report the bugs they find and help to fix them
- They can give developers tips and suggestions
[edit] Bugtracker location
You can find more info about how to add a bugtracker field in your application here.
[edit] Validity criteria for bugtrackers and bugtrackers links
Actually, these bugtrackers links are considered valid:
- A link to a product dedicated page in bugs.maemo.org (e.g. https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xxx)
- See Bugs:Adding Extra products for how to add a product
- A link to a product dedicated page in another known bugtracker (e.g. Google Code, Gitorious, etc.)
- A link to a Garage bugtracker (e.g. https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/?group_id=xxxx)
- A mailto link (just for small applications)
- A link to an opened thread about the application in talk.maemo.org (e.g. http://talk.maemo.com/showthread=xxxxxx)
The following bugtracker links are NOT considered valid:
- General links that do not lead to a dedicated page (e.g. http://talk.maemo.org or https://bugs.maemo.org)
- Misspelled links (e.g. links starting with "xsbc-bugtracker")
