== How do I close a bug? ==

This bug jam is about '''closing''' bugs, not necessarily fixing them.

The Launchpad project has over 6,500 open bugs. Not all of them can be fixed but it's unfair to the people who reported them and also to the project if we leave them open.

You can close a bug by changing its status to one of these:

 * '''~+Fix Committed+~''': you've fixed the bug, pushed your branch to Launchpad, someone has approved your merge proposal and PQM/Buildbot have successfully merge your branch.
 *'''~+Won't Fix+~''': this is a valid bug report but it's not something that we will fix.
 *'''~+Invalid.+~''': the bug described doesn't really exist.
When you start working on a bug, assign it to yourself and mark it
'''~+In progress+~''' to make sure nobody else start working on the same thing.

How do I close a bug?

This bug jam is about closing bugs, not necessarily fixing them.

The Launchpad project has over 6,500 open bugs. Not all of them can be fixed but it's unfair to the people who reported them and also to the project if we leave them open.

You can close a bug by changing its status to one of these:

  • Fix Committed: you've fixed the bug, pushed your branch to Launchpad, someone has approved your merge proposal and PQM/Buildbot have merged your branch.

  • Fix Released: the report is actually about something that has already been fixed.

  • Won't Fix: this is a valid bug report but it's not something that we will fix.

  • Invalid.: the bug described doesn't really exist.

When you start working on a bug, assign it to yourself and mark it In progress to make sure nobody else start working on the same thing.
