Bugzilla Changes

Bugzilla Changes

[Saul Wold]

We need to review the existing Bugzilla and update the Products and 
Categories to reflect the projects correctly.  Please review this email 
and make comments, suggestions for moving forward with a better Bugzilla 
categorization.

Currently we have "Core OS" with the following Components:
   General
   Graphics Driver
   Kernel
   Tool Chain

Along with "Poky" which contains:
   General
   SDK Tools

There are also product categories for "Runtime Distribution", "Sato" and 
"SDK Plugins". Along with other infrastructure items.

I would propose that we clearly define the some new products and move 
bugs as appropriate:

Poky Build System - for Poky class and configuration issues
User Space  - for user space, patching and runtime failures
Tool Chain - break it down to compiler, tools, libraries, and general
Kernel - Break it down to Arch  / Config components
SDK - For all SDK related issues, have components for plugin, tools, ...
Sato - as it exists today
Runtime Distribution- Delete this, we are not a distro (no bugs now)

Additionally, there is other discussion about Poky Test components for 
the standards tests such as LSB, LTP, Posix.

We will need to add Product Categories for other Yocto Projects that do 
not have bugzilla yet.

Finally we need to update the Bugzilla Interface to be Yocto Project, 
changing naming as appropriate.

Please take a few minutes to review this and give some feedback.


Thanks

These test suites can help to find bugs from user level to kernel. It's hard to put them as components under just one product. User can decide the product and add note in bug title that the bug is for LSB or LTP.
If we want to make it easier to report bugs for such test suites, how about adding a Standard Test Suite product, which includes LSB, LTP, POSIX and Others as components.

My proposal -- similar bug slightly different:

Poky Build System
   Bitbake
   Documentation
   General

Poky Distribution
   Runtime Distribution -- Poky embedded linux distribution
   Documentation
   Security
   Toolchain
   SDK
   Test Suite

Yocto Infrastructure
   AutoBuilder
   Bugzilla
   Website

Anjuta Plug-in
   ???

Eclipse Plug-in
   ???

Cross-Prelink

Pseudo

SDK Generator

Swabber


...  specifically we need a major category for each of the projects in Yocto, 
right now the bugzilla is very specific to Poky and I think that needs to be 
updated now that things are public.

My suggestion is that is part of the run-time distribution.  If someone chooses 
to not use the Poky run-time, then the tests likely won't be useful on their own.

The divide between User Space and Tool Chain is a bit vague. For 
instance, I would generally expect to see glibc under User Space, but 
your description seems to place it under Tool Chain.

 > and general Kernel - Break it down to Arch / Config components

Please keep the kernel separate from the Tool Chain, something along the 
lines of:

Kernel
   - Core
   - Drivers
   - Tooling (Trace, Debug, Perf)

I think this is where the Bugzilla description needs to be verbose.

Toolchain for me includes:  userspace kernel headers (but not the kernel), 
binutils, gcc, "the libc" (uclibc, glibc, eglibc), and gdb.

Yes, I agree. the kernel needs to be treated as a separate project as it is an 
external item to Poky -- but part of the overall Yocto Project.

We'll also want to update this document after we make these changes:
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bugzilla_Configuration_and_Bug_Tracking

We might want to streamline that doc a bit to better summarize what 
someone needs to know to file a bug to get people started before
diving into all of the details.

I think my lines might have run together!  It was meant to be separate, 
and this looks like a good break down.

Remember this is not a Distribution, I think Yocto (Poky?) Meta-Data / 
Recipes and then the following components

Add:
   User Space Recipes (this could be further broken down, if needed)

This is too much separation, having over categorization
of the kernel defects at this point is overkill. I'd
suggest three categories:

   - kernel build (which often transitions to
     straight up build-system after triage).
   - kernel configuration
   - kernel runtime

Let's keep it simple.

Agree in principle.

Let me confirm:

- kernel runtime (this includes all errors, panics, BUGs, etc. from the
   three categories I listed above - no objection).

It's still 3 categories, but separate by type of bug instead of area of 
bug. It's still fine with me. My biggest concern was keeping the kernel 
separate, and it is in either form. I'll happily defer to Bruce with 
respect to an efficient set of kernel bug categories for an embedded 
"not-a-distribution".

Agreed.

It does. What we can also do, is split it between
'kernel' and 'BSP'. I've been triaging bugs like this
for 6 years now, and typically it is very hard for
the submitters to categorize properly. But typically
they do know if it is particular to a board (BSP) or
everywhere (kernel). The BSP would also cover the drivers
category that you had listed above .. since often, drivers
are exercised by one (or few) boards and those are the
ones that have problems.

Agreed. We are aligned here. We'll adjust these as we
go forward to whatever makes sense.
