Duplicates a little definition :

  • According to the dictionary

  1. copied exactly from an original
  2. identical
  3. existing as a pair or in pairs; twofold

The problem is a duplicate of an existing bug. Marking a bug duplicate requires the bug# of the duplicating bug and will at least put that bug number in the description field.

According to the same bugzilla a gross 40% of bugs end up being duplicates.

The goal of this workshop is to exchange on technique, tips and tricks on how to find and deal with duplicates. It should help :

users
