Duplicates a little definition :
- According to the dictionary
- copied exactly from an original
- identical
- existing as a pair or in pairs; twofold
- According to bugzilla
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.
Bugzilla statistics say that 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
We want careful users to be able to find bugs they need to follow instead of entering new ones that will end up being marked as duplicate. We also think that with proper documentation it would make it easier to sign up to find and hunt duplicates.
Devs and Bugzilla contributors
We should be able to use the dupme whiteboard status more efficiently. With a better documentation , people that are already contributing to the bugzilla maintaining effort may become more efficient. And as written above one of the objectives is to be able to have more people finding dups.
