First off, the Blog, Bugzilla, and official Documentation are now all on naslnx05. naslnx07 will redirect for a while, but I’ll probably clean that junk off in the next week or two.

Secondly, we’re going to try to have a much bigger focus on Bugzilla. Previously, it was just a way for Dirk to have a checklist. Now, we are going to try to use Bugzilla as the single collection point for all change tracking. This also changes the way we deal with CVS.

  • Any changes you make in CVS should be associated with a Bugzilla entry.
  • CVS changelogs should still be used, but do not have to be overly lengthy. They should at least contain a Bug ID.
  • CVS commits should all be associated with a small number of bugs (preferably 1) and a small number of files. This is to prevent “Tim Syndrome”, where a developer makes tons of unrelated changes over a 2-week period before remembering to commit. This will also make it much easier to track changes.
