Hello all,
I'm wondering how do the core Lazarus' developers use mantis. Do you rely on email notifications or poll the web interface? In the first case, do you watch through all changes made to bugs or do you enable some automatic filter?

Best regards,
Fl?vio

I mostly look at FPC bugs only (project filter). I sometimes block out features and categories (like database and documentation) that other devels typically do.

I'm not from the Lazarus team, but fpc. But I can tell that I ignore emails, (those send my mantis) and now and then, when I'm in a bug-hunting mood I use the ' my view' page to see what's assigned to me. And sometimes browse through the unresolved bugs.

I have to say the answers were somewhat what I expected. I for one always relied on email notifications (on systems other than mantis, that is).
Forgive me, but I'll have to poke some of you individually on how to make this scale better ;-)

Best regards,
Fl?vio

Well, this reply is also somewhat expected :-)

I have to say the answers were somewhat what I expected. I for one always relied on email notifications (on systems other than mantis, that is).

I'm a simple reporter but I don't like the notifications that mantis sends, with all the history of the bug report instead of just the last change (like bugzilla does).
OTOH I saw on another project that mantis can send a daily report of what changed in the bugtracker, e.g.:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.cms.opengroupware.sogo/4932

maybe that simple report could be more useful to keep track of changes (or maybe not due to the relative size of the bugtracker).

Bye
