This Saturday: Bumpday – fix your bump requests

Sebastian (sping) recently posted about Bumpday. This gave me an idea for a little experiment.

As part of the bumpday contest, you can claim any bump assigned to me (Calchan) or to the Soldering Iron Brotherhood (sci-electronics) as yours. What you should do is, after you have properly tested and committed the ebuild, assign the bug to yourself and mark it RESOLVED/FIXED. Make sure you cvs up in the package directory before you commit in case some other dev was faster than you.

You may also file a bug when you spot a package which needs a bump and doesn’t have a bug for it yet. In this case you can assign it directly to you (please add me to the CC list) and RESOLVE/FIX it.

All I’m asking is you really test what you commit, especially in the case of electronics stuff which is sometimes not trivial (you didn’t think it would be that easy, right?). You should also fix all known bugs which would still apply to the version you’re committing.

There are a few easy targets out there, so don’t waste any time. And if you’re good at greping metadata in the tree there are even more of them.

How’s that for non-territoriality?
