Back in the day (read, "just an hour ago") a person filing a new
issue against Subversion had two choices of what
component/subcomponent against which to file it:
subversion:src
subversion:www
Kevin Hancock <kevin@collab.net> has been kind enough to diversify our
options in this area now. We now have the components:
subversion
docs
build
tests
tools
and then new subcomponents under each of those, allowing such combinations as:
subversion:libsvn_ra_dav
subversion:libsvn_fs
docs:www
docs:notes
build:unknown
tests:unknown
tools:svn
tools:svnadmin
tools:svnlook
...
The idea here is very simple (and was extremely useful to me at my
last place of employment). If I have been working in, say, libsvn_fs
for the past week, my brain is fully wrapped around that code. It
would be nice to query the issue tracker for all issues filed against
the 'subversion:libsvn_fs' component, to see if I can whip out other bug
fixes and features while my knowledge of the code is fresh.
I've already taken care of converting all whopping 5 'subversion:www'
issues to 'docs:www', so all that remains are the 'subversion:src' ones.
Now while I *could* fly through our 400+ issues (old and current) and
modify their component/subcomponent categorizations (and generate a
slew of mail as a result), I'm asking instead that folks make those
modifications as they update individual issues. If you're filing a
new Subversion bug, and have no idea where the fix might live, feel
free to use subversion:unknown -- someone (perhaps you) will later
diagnose the problem and be able to further specify the module that
needs a-fixing.
