We discussed bugzilla versions at Wineconf, re:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12728
There were several points of consensus. First, it would be helpful if we could reduce the number of versions visible in the drop down box when entering a new bug. That would seem to require a bugzilla code change, though. Anyone know of an easy way to accomplish this?
AFAIK it's already done in automated fashion in AppDB. Can take code from there.
Second, we'd like new bug reporters to not be able to use the 'CVS/GIT' version choice, but to instead be encouraged to report the current version. (wine --version reports something that is easy to match up to the choices).
I'm strongly against this. There are number of bug reporters who use git and update it every day. What should they use for their bug reports? IMHO their reports are much more valuable and allows developers to catch bugs early on before they get into the release.
Otherwise it will take at least 2 releases to correct each introduced regression. For some regressions it takes just 2 versions for users to notice it and identify the patch in question.
