Closed TRACKEDINBUGSTER - Two Months Later

See a previous post for more background.

Well it's almost two months on, and I've shuffled a load more bugs over to Bugster, so I thought I'd run my script again.

There are now 644 bugs that have been closed in OpenSolaris Bugzilla as TRACKEDINBUGSTER. Here's their current status, this time with percentage figures: 

1-Dispatched:           146       22.67%
2-Incomplete:           24         3.72%
3-Accepted:             70        10.87%
4-Defer:                16         2.48%
5-Cause Known:          6          0.93%
6-Fix Understood:       6          0.93%
7-Fix in Progress:      15         2.33%
8-Fix Available:        11         1.71%
10-Fix Delivered:       179       27.80%
11-Closed:              171       26.55%

Dan,

I currently know of the following ways you can track Bugster bugs:

1/ Get yourself added to the bug's interest list.
If you need help with that let me know. I'll be happy
to do it for you.

2/ View the current state of a Bugster bug at:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=NNNNNNN
where NNNNNNN is the bug id.
If the bug was created via closing an OpenSolaris Bugzilla
bug as CLOSEDINBUGSTER, then the Whiteboard line with give
the Bugster bug id. As I closed bugs this way, I automatically
added the original bug submitter to the Bugster bug interest
list. I'm happy to also do it for anybody else who is interested.

3/ Searching via http://bugs.opensolaris.org/
There is active development work to add the missing functionality
to allow people to add themselves to the interest list of an existing
Bugster bug.

The real bug is having two different bugs databases. Hopefully
somebody is addressing this too.

Thanks, Rich. Some comments and clarifications on your points, by number.

1. Sure, I'm on several, and will take up the offer of being added to more in due course. This seems to get me updates by email, for updates that come after I've been added.

2. This is the limitation I was referring to in my original post - the web interface shows some metadata but doesn't show me much content other than the initial description and 1-11 status. There seems to be no way to see the content and commentary/history that would have been emailed to me had I been listed on the bug at the time, as in 1. If there is a way to see this I've missed, sorry for my ignorance, but then that's what needs to be prominently advertised.

3. Searching just allows me to find bug summaries that might have interesting information I can't see, as per 2.

I agree that this is not the issue you're trying to solve, and appreciate the efforts to get attention and fixes for bugs, anywhere/anyhow.
