Hi,
I 'm now ready to start debugging wine so I'd like to
try solving a bug. Do I
need to assign a bug to myself or I just start solving
it? If I have to assign
it how can I do that?
I created a bug zilla account
You don't need to assign bugs to yourself. I believe this was covered in another thread. Once you have a patch to fix a bug, send it to wine-patches, following the "submitting patches" guide. Then, if it is accepted and committed, the appropriate bug can be marked "FIXED".
To avoid duplication of effort (though quite unlikely among the wine community), it is probably appropriate to stick a comment on the specific bug to that effect and put yourself to the CC:. This way, others know you are working on it, and you get to read about others' insight to the problem if they choose to write to comment. (this has essentially the same effect as having the bug formally assigned to oneself, without the management/administration overhead).
Most bugs' status are eventually and officially closed by AJ anyway :-).
