GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 500002
GNOME has half a million bugs!

Worst, got 100,000 of which in 2007 alone, and we're not even done with 2007 yet. Way to go dudes...

Behdad you're a bad looser :)
*** Bug 500001 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
/me is...
Yeah, guys.. say whatever you want. But I closed bug #400000, and it was a real bug!
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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 100000 ***
And by that you canceled my point for opening this bug, didn't you :P.
Yes, but not all the points for the random extraneous comments.
...like this one, for example. :-)
Comment is cheap. Not worth the stress it puts on my fingers :P.
We should have t-shirts with this kind of stuff. "I filled bug #500000" "(and Behdad dupe'd it)"
Diego, yes, good idea :) I have to remind that to vuntz next time we order tees for GNOME-FR
Or just order at spreadshirt.com. Use pangocairo to generat SVG output of course... Oh, my nick is "behdad", not "Behdad" :P
Bah. We have bug numbers above 500k, but we do not have 500k bugs. Bug numbers are not sequential.
The exception is the 200xxx range, yes. But still, we have around 500k bugs, most fixed though ;).
Between bug 1 (doesn't exist:) and bug 500000 there are 379294 bugreports.
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...
I want to file a bug! this bug is duplicate of 500000, not the opposite!
(In reply to comment #18) > I want to file a bug! this bug is duplicate of 500000, not the opposite! That would be a meta-bug?
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.
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.
(In reply to comment #20) > I kindly ask Olav to implement recursive-two-ways duplication so we can make > this bug dupe of 500000 too. 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. :-)
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...
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...
Created attachment 101328 [details] Screenshot I could reproduce this bug thanks to crevette. Screenshot attached. More info at: http://mces.blogspot.com/2007/12/thank-you.html
Created attachment 101353 [details] Happy face of the winner :) You're welcome Behdad, always please to make people happy :)
I forgot to say I'm sorry for behdad because I knew he stayed awake the whole night to have the bug #500000 :)
The tshirt is priceless, well worth the night :).
I can find some important bugs that need work if you guys have near- infinite free time on your hands.
paah, the latest release fixed all known and unknown crashers and limitations, no need to waste time on work!
We're celebrating our new tshirts. *You* seem to have too much free time Morten :P.
now i also ran into this issue: http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/files/2008/01/behdadstshirt.jpg confirming!
This bug has been causing me data loss: http://mces.blogspot.com/2008/01/saga-continues.html increasing severity.
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.
Like the bumper-stickers say: one bug at a day!
only one?! pah, LWN made me fix "almost 40 bugs per day"! :-P http://lwn.net/Articles/263714/ (thanks to jdub for pointing me to this funny misunderstanding of statistics)
That's why I get mad at bugsquad people eating my lunch, err, points!
