While 028 bug triaging, we realized that we *really* need priorities to
not be a banana field deprive of useful meaning. If you are unaware or
don't remember, the priority field in a trac ticket can be:
blocker critical major normal minor trivial
Those are "severities" *NOT* priorities. Now I propose the following:
1) I take those above and copy them to the already existing but empty
severity field. They seem reasonable and we are used to them.
2) Rename all priorities to something more meaninful:
blocker --> Immediate
criticial --> Very High
major --> High
normal --> Medium
minor --> Low
trivial --> Very Low
3) World trac domination!
This could get confusing for some tickets after that but at least we can
transition towards using the Severity field from now on.
Anyone object or think it's a bad bad idea?
This is very little work for lots of benefits so I don't want to get
into a massive reorg. or bike-shedding the naming convention. I would be
open though to drop the "Very [High|Low]" field but that could make some
tickets with less semantic.
I'll let that sync for some days before doing anything. Let's not wait
anymore and take back our Trac system! Freeeeeeeeeedom!!!!!
+1 on this.Also, I suggest that it might be clever to have it so that onlymembers of GRP_devel can set priorities.
That would be clever, as long as enough people are in GRP_devel. (And by that, I mean, âpick me!")
