- Don (7/23) Feb 05 2010 Yes, but look at how many of the patches are marked as 'enhancement'.
I just searched for the keyword patch to see how many tickets are still open with submitted patches: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/buglist.cgi?keywords=patch&query_format=advanced&keywords_type=allwords&order=Last%20Changed&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED Some date back to dmd 0.164 and one even is for gdc! Shouldn't those be closed to keep the system clean?

They definitely should be fixed by folding in the patches sooner rather than later. Stewart.Some date back to dmd 0.164 and one even is for gdc!

Most of the old patches have problems of various kinds: they are incorrect or incomplete, but still useful. The problem is with the bugzilla keywords. We need something like a 'partial-patch' keyword. In fact the current set of keywords is *far* from ideal, and the version selection is really terrible."Trass3r" <un known.com> wrote in message<snip>That depends on whether by "closed" the OP means fixed or merely marked as such.

Yes, but look at how many of the patches are marked as 'enhancement'. Most of the old patches have problems of various kinds: they are incorrect or incomplete, but still useful. The problem is with the bugzilla keywords. We need something like a 'partial-patch' keyword. In fact the current set of keywords is *far* from ideal, and the version selection is really terrible.The whole thing wasn't so much about the patch ones, I just found them cause I searched for issues with patches. My point was that some entries are damn old and sometimes it's ridiculous that they are still open (e.g. the first one about the makefiles). Some patches are also rather small, just like this one: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2997 Just tried it out, works great.

The problem is with the bugzilla keywords. We need something like a 'partial-patch' keyword. In fact the current set of keywords is *far* from ideal, and the version selection is really terrible.I know it's probably infeasible but just imagine an automatic system that tests stuff like versions and OSs. It would have all recent versions of dmd installed and automatically test code on different configurations ;) I mean the basics work for codepad.org, online compilation to show the compiler messages.

Bugzilla's full of comments by people worrying about how they had to select 1.045 because 1.046 wasn't in the list yet. But it's completely useful information. (If you ever needed the compiler version (which you never do), you can estimate the compiler version from the date the bug was submitted).The problem is with the bugzilla keywords.
