Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Bugzilla proposal: change some fields to better suit our needs

[Ulf Lamping <ulf.lamping@xxxxxx>]

Hi List!

Of course, the fields used in an bug tracking system are of personal
belief, so here are my thoughts.

Some general suggestions on the database fields:

Product field: Ethereal / Tethereal / Web sites

I hope, that there can be different Component selections based on the
product selected.

Component field (for Ethereal): General / GUI / Installer / Capturing /
I/O / Display Filter / Name Resolution / Dissection / Analysis

Component field (for Web sites): www.ethereal.com / wiki.ethereal.com /
bugs.ethereal.com / anonsvn.ethereal.com

Don't know the component fields for Tethereal.


Version field: Add one item for the current developer version (SVN
version), e.g. "past 0.10.10" or "SVN (after 0.10.10)" or alike. It will
be a good idea to have the current release version in that item, so you
can recognize it after a release was done...


IMHO we should somehow have the "Bug / Feature Request / Support Request
/ Patch" info, like in the sourceforge page (well, we might not need the
support request?).

We could have a new type field or put that info into the severity field.
There's an "enhancement" entry already, but "patch" and "support" are
still missing, so:

Remove some of the current Severity entries? (Major / Normal / Minor
might just be enough)

Add a Type field (completely new field): Bug / Feature Request / Support
Request / Patch

or mix this info all into the severity field?


Comments?
