Would you like to write a patch for +> associating due dates and open/closed with a target? + +I've been mulling this over, and I think that targets are a lot like +bugs. Here's a list of issue/implementation pairs: + + * Targeting normal bugs + + With "be depend". I think we should remove the "target" field from + bugs, and move target dependencies over into the "be depend" + framework. Of course, we could add "blocks" (in addition to the + current "blocked-by") tags to make target lookup more efficient. + + * "due_by" + + We could add "due-by" to Bug.extra_strings as well, so that anyone + could set due dates for any issue they wanted. + + * Bugdir-wide target + + Just a pointer to the current target bug. + + * Target dependency tree / time-series. + + Use BLOCKS/BLOCKED-BY tags between targets, so you'd know which ones + came first. + + * be target list + + Would become "be list --severity target". A target "severity" would + keep target bugs distinct from other bug/issue types. + + * Commenting on targets + + They'd be Bug()s, so commenting already build in, e.g. to add + release notes, layout roadmaps, etc. + +If you want, we could maintain the current "be target" interface, +and just use all this stuff behind the scenes. + +Thoughts? +Trevor + +-- +This email may be signed or encrypted with GPG (http://www.gnupg.org). +The GPG signature (if present) will be attached as 'signature.asc'. +For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy + +My public key is at http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/pubkey.txt diff --git a/.be/bugs/22b6f620-d2f7-42a5-a02e-145733a4e366/comments/4012c6cc-1300-4f6b-af0e-9176eedf8de7/values b/.be/bugs/22b6f620-d2f7-42a5-a02e-145733a4e366/comments/4012c6cc-1300-4f6b-af0e-9176eedf8de7/values new file mode 100644 index 0000000..fee86e6 --- /dev/null +++ b/.be/bugs/22b6f620-d2f7-42a5-a02e-145733a4e366/comments/4012c6cc-1300-4f6b-af0e-9176eedf8de7/values @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +Alt-id: <20090801102742.GA29000@mjolnir.home.net> + + +Author: '"W.
