How in the hell did kobodeluxe pass QA with broken bugtracker link?!?

http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/kobodeluxe/

bugtracker link:
http://kobodeluxe-maemo.tunk.org/

redirects to:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...0.5.1-5maemo6/

dear mikko, have you ever read the article I've linked to you now three times?

http://wiki.maemo.org/Bugtracker

How can I report a bug if bugtracker link leads nowhere?


e: and why aren't you mikko doing anything to change things?

http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing/QA_Checklist

that clearly states that you must define a bugtracker. putting a link that redirects to where you started before clicking the link isn't clearly a bugtracker. so your app fails point number 1. so it shouldn't even be tested before issue has been solved. same rules for everyone, feel free to drive sufficient changes but now your app is slipped to extras against QA checklist.

It is possible that the Kobo Deluxe author intended for the use of the comments section on that packages page to be used to report bugs; "tunk.org" being used to redirect to the latest packages page when a new version comes out.

It is not required to have a "bugs.maemo.org" entry as your bugtracker link. I just use "mailto://".


**** what I wrote above - I just read that wiki page...

Yes! No real difference to talk.maemo.org thread or to your e-mail client. The list there only for as an example

I don't think the bugtracker link is broken, it does lead to a dedicated page. Certainly not the most efficient way of bugtracking, but IMO I would be hard pressed to thumb down because of an arguable interpretation of what is considered a dedicated page or bug tracker.

PS.The title of this thread is wrong, this has nothing to do with 'seriousness', unless you're talking about the process itself.

Yes it's not good or real bugtracker, but in my experience there will be maybe 1 bug asking for something obvious which I have already decided not to do. So it can handle the expected bugs just fine.

I love how these guidelines let clinical wikipedians among us assault more level headed people
