Does it have to be like this? (15.43 KB, image/png) 2012-03-29 09:48 UTC, Shahar Or	Details

Description Shahar Or 2012-02-20 21:56:30 UTC

Dear Ones,

It would be beneficial for good order to have an RTL keyword.

I may have asked for this in the past.

RTL stands for right to left.

It is good when we want to see the list of RTL related bugs.

launchpad.net has tags. We use that in Ubuntu RTL Team. Works great for us:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=rtl

Thanks and Blessings,
Shahar

We have an I18N keyword already and RTL is a subset of it. Not convinced...

Comment 2 Shahar Or 2012-02-21 12:10:01 UTC

Search on the keyword I18N: 284 bugs found:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=I18N;query_format=advanced;keywords_type=allwords;bug_status=UNCONFIRMED;bug_status=NEW;bug_status=ASSIGNED;bug_status=REOPENED;bug_status=NEEDINFO

Search on the keyword I18N + summary "rtl": 21 bugs found:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=I18N;query_format=advanced;keywords_type=allwords;short_desc=rtl;field0-0-0=longdesc;bug_status=UNCONFIRMED;bug_status=NEW;bug_status=ASSIGNED;bug_status=REOPENED;bug_status=NEEDINFO;short_desc_type=allwordssubstr

Search on the summary "rtl": 76 bugs found:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced;short_desc=rtl;field0-0-0=longdesc;bug_status=UNCONFIRMED;bug_status=NEW;bug_status=ASSIGNED;bug_status=REOPENED;bug_status=NEEDINFO;short_desc_type=allwordssubstr

Practically, this means that there has been disorder. Adding the keyword 'rtl' would promote the use of it and I personally promise to tag all the existing rtl bugs manually.

Please see our work downstream Ubuntu wiki:

Dear André Klapper,

Please reconsider adding the RTL keyword.

This screenshot is from the Ubuntu RTL Team wiki page(1).

Thanks and Blessings,

> Does it have to be like this?

No, as it is a wiki and you could edit it to mention that there GNOME only provides a query for I18N bugs currently and that RTL bugs are a subset.

My position so far has not changed, but other bugmasters are free to agree with you and to add that keyword. I'm just neither pro nor con. :)

Comment 5 Shahar Or 2012-03-29 13:30:04 UTC

Thank you, André Klapper.

I assume that other bugmasters are getting mails about this bug so please, chip in!

Thanks and Blessings,
Shahar

De-facto this request is declined hence reflecting reality by setting it to WONTFIX...
