Description Behdad Esfahbod 2007-11-27 15:47:56 UTC
Worst, got 100,000 of which in 2007 alone, and we're not even done with 2007 yet.
Way to go dudes...

Comment 5 Claudio Saavedra 2007-11-27 16:45:05 UTC
Yeah, guys.. say whatever you want. But I closed bug #400000, and it was a real bug!
Comment 6 Elijah Newren 2007-11-28 01:29:22 UTC
Thanks for the bug report.  The "GNOME bugzilla is full of bugs" issue has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further issues you find.

Comment 7 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-11-28 03:46:40 UTC
And by that you canceled my point for opening this bug, didn't you :P.
Comment 8 Elijah Newren 2007-11-28 03:51:40 UTC
Yes, but not all the points for the random extraneous comments.
Comment 9 Elijah Newren 2007-11-28 03:51:59 UTC
...like this one, for example.  :-)
Comment 10 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-11-28 04:32:33 UTC
Comment is cheap.  Not worth the stress it puts on my fingers :P.
Comment 11 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2007-11-28 05:49:57 UTC
We should have t-shirts with this kind of stuff.
"I filled bug #500000"
"(and Behdad dupe'd it)"
Comment 12 Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2007-11-28 06:53:24 UTC
Diego, yes, good idea :)
I have to remind that to vuntz next time we order tees for GNOME-FR
Comment 13 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-11-28 07:12:37 UTC
Or just order at spreadshirt.com.  Use pangocairo to generat SVG output of course...

Oh, my nick is "behdad", not "Behdad" :P
Comment 14 Morten Welinder 2007-11-28 17:45:31 UTC
Bah.

We have bug numbers above 500k, but we do not have 500k bugs.
Bug numbers are not sequential.
Comment 15 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-11-28 19:37:33 UTC
The exception is the 200xxx range, yes.  But still, we have around 500k bugs, most fixed though ;).
Comment 16 Olav Vitters 2007-11-28 21:20:18 UTC
Between bug 1 (doesn't exist:) and bug 500000 there are 379294 bugreports.
Comment 17 Raphaël Quinet 2007-11-29 08:55:18 UTC
Thanks for the information.  Since the bugs from various sources (old debbugs, Eazel Bugzilla) were merged into bugzilla.gnome.org, I have been wondering how many "holes" were left in the bug database.  Now I know that we have 120706 ghosts and I will finally be able to sleep at night.  Or maybe not...
Comment 18 lloeki 2007-11-29 12:19:55 UTC
I want to file a bug! this bug is duplicate of 500000, not the opposite!

> I want to file a bug! this bug is duplicate of 500000, not the opposite!

That would be a meta-bug?
Comment 20 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2007-11-29 18:01:42 UTC
I kindly ask Olav to implement recursive-two-ways duplication so we can make this bug dupe of 500000 too.

I'd also ask for that t-shirt about this bug.
Comment 21 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-11-30 01:12:06 UTC
That would introduce inconsistency in our bz database.  That may not be a problem right now, but who knows what happens when upgrading to bz 3...

As for the shirt, I suggest you blog about it and include your address.

That used to be allowed back when no sanity checking was done.  Then we made scripts to due duplicate counts following chains of duplicates to see which bugs had the most duplicates and...TADA! Infinite loops!  Great fun.  :-)
Comment 23 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2007-11-30 08:19:46 UTC
Behdad:

and what if the t-shirt says in the back (in persian and of course in pango rendered writing) "and andre gave him the idea". Well, a better phrase is welcome.

Maybe I'm overthinking it...
Comment 24 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-12-03 06:17:05 UTC
Last time I gave someone Persian text to put on their tshirt he ended up explaining what it says at the airport, and asked whether he knows Arabic...

You're welcome Behdad,
always please to make people happy :)
Comment 27 Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2007-12-20 20:53:00 UTC
I forgot to say I'm sorry for behdad because I knew he stayed awake the whole night to have the bug #500000 :)
Comment 28 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-12-20 21:04:36 UTC
The tshirt is priceless, well worth the night :).
Comment 29 Morten Welinder 2007-12-20 21:15:57 UTC
I can find some important bugs that need work if you guys have near-
infinite free time on your hands.
Comment 30 André Klapper 2007-12-20 21:42:02 UTC
paah, the latest release fixed all known and unknown crashers and limitations, no need to waste time on work!
Comment 31 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-12-20 21:55:36 UTC
We're celebrating our new tshirts.  *You* seem to have too much free time Morten :P.
Comment 32 André Klapper 2008-01-21 14:12:32 UTC
now i also ran into this issue:

confirming!
Comment 33 Behdad Esfahbod 2008-01-21 18:45:49 UTC
This bug has been causing me data loss:
http://mces.blogspot.com/2008/01/saga-continues.html
increasing severity.
Comment 34 Christian Kirbach 2008-01-22 16:04:34 UTC
assigning to behdad so that he must fix 500.000 bugs.

gracefully saving the hard-working bugzilla maintainers spam at the same time.

thank you.
Comment 35 Behdad Esfahbod 2008-01-22 17:57:46 UTC
Like the bumper-stickers say: one bug at a day!
Comment 36 André Klapper 2008-01-22 18:25:55 UTC
only one?! pah, LWN made me fix "almost 40 bugs per day"! :-P

Comment 37 Behdad Esfahbod 2008-01-22 19:07:22 UTC
That's why I get mad at bugsquad people eating my lunch, err, points!
