Today, I will talk to you about how to repair Bug in Fedora Linux and determine the priority of Bug. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following for you. I hope you can get something according to this article.

Release development process

As a Linux distribution project, we hope to provide users with a complete and normal experience. Our launch started with "Rawhide". We have integrated all the new versions of free and open source software in Rawhide. We are constantly improving the ongoing testing and continuous integration of Continuous Integration processes so that even Rawhide can be safely used by adventurers. In essence, however, Rawhide is always a bit rough.

Twice a year, we branch this crude operating system to the test version and the final version. When we do this, we work together to find problems. We check specific areas and functions on the test day Test Days. Make "candidate version Candidate builds" and test it according to our release verification test plan. Then we enter the frozen freeze state, and only approved changes can be incorporated into candidate versions. This isolates candidate versions from ongoing development, which is constantly incorporated into Rawhide. Therefore, no new problems will be introduced.

Many bug are shredded and removed during the release process, and these bug vary from large to small. When everything went according to plan, we provided all users with a new version of Fedora Linux that was released as planned. Over the past few years, we have reliably repeated this move-thanks to everyone who has worked hard for it! If there is a problem, we can mark it as a release blocking release blocker. This means that we won't release it until we fix it. Release barriers usually represent major issues, and this expression is sure to draw attention to bug.

Sometimes, some of the problems we encounter persist. Maybe some problems have lasted for one or two versions, or we haven't reached a consensus solution yet. Some problems do bother many users, but individual problems do not hinder the release. We can mark these things as blocking blocker. But it will fall like a hammer. Obstruction may lead to eventual shattering of the bug, but it can also lead to damage around it. If you lag behind, all other bug fixes, improvements, and features that people have been working on will not reach users.

Arrange bug processes in order of priority

So, we have another way to solve the annoying bug. Arranging bug processes in order of priority, unlike other ways, can identify problems that have led to dissatisfaction among a large number of users. There's no hammer, it's more like a spotlight. Unlike release barriers, there is no well-defined set of criteria for prioritizing bug processes. Each bug is assessed based on the scope of impact and severity.

A team of interested contributors helps plan a short list of issues to pay attention to. Then, our job is to match the problems to people who can solve them. This helps relieve the pressure during the release process because it does not specify any specific deadlines for the problem. Ideally, we can find and solve the problem before we enter the testing phase. We try to keep the list short, no more than a few, so that we can really have a point. This helps teams and individuals solve problems because they know that we respect their strapped time and energy.

Through this process, Fedora has solved dozens of serious and annoying problems, from keyboard input failures to SELinux errors, to the gradual filling of your disk with multi-megabyte old package updates. But we can do more-the proposals we actually received didn't reach our processing capacity limit. So if you know what has caused a long-term setback or affected a lot of people and no solution has been reached so far, please follow the prioritized bug process and submit it to us.

You can help us.

Invite all Fedora contributors to participate in the process of arranging the bug in order of optimization. The evaluation meeting is held on IRC every two weeks. Anyone is welcome to join and help us evaluate the nominated bug. See calendar for the time and place of the meeting. The Fedora project manager sends the agenda to the triage and devel mailing lists the day before the meeting starts.

Welcome to report bug

When you find bug, big or small, we appreciate you reporting bug. In many cases, the best way to solve bug is to leave it to the project that created the software. For example, if there is something wrong with the Darktable photography software that renders the data camera photos, it is best to bring it to the developer of the Darktable photography software. For another example, if there is something wrong with the GNOME or KDE desktop environment or component software, handing these problems over to these projects will usually get the best results.

However, if this is a specific Fedora problem, such as the way our software is built or configured or how it is integrated, please do not hesitate to submit bug to us. When you know that there is a problem that we haven't solved, submit it to us.

I know it's complicated... It's best to have an one-stop place to handle all bug. Keep in mind, however, that most of the Fedora Packers are volunteers who are responsible for getting upstream software and configuring it into our system. They are not always experts who have in-depth research on the code of the software they are using. When in doubt, you can submit a Fedora bug at any time. The people in charge of the corresponding software packages in Fedora can help through their contact with upstream software projects.

After reading the above, do you have any further understanding of how to fix Bug in Fedora Linux and prioritize Bug? If you want to know more knowledge or related content, please follow the industry information channel, thank you for your support.
