Hi,

I wonder if there is some mechanism in Bugtracker, for developers who are not part of Lazarus core, know if has somebody is working (Lazarus developer or not) in some bug report.

In other words, if I want working in something in Bugtracker -- to send a patch on the future -- how I can know if someone is working on the same bug?

Thank you.

One can't tell for sure, but often you can tell by checking whether the bug is assigned to someone. This can be a wrong indicator however as - mostly in the Lazarus project - some bug categories are automatically assigned to people also one might accidentaly "collect" a bug by setting it to feedback and forgetting to unassign oneself. Nevertheless it's the best indicator you have. To be really sure you should maybe ask on the mailing list whether someone is working on a specific bug.

The only person who knows, is the one to whom it is assigned. if it is not assigned, then likelihood is no one works on it.

Please send a mail to this list, with the assignee name, and bug title in the subject, and ask.

Ok Martin, thank you.
