Bugs to Fixed Binaries

Linking bug numbers to the binaries that purport to fix them.

Contact: Evan Dandrea
On Launchpad: Ubuntu Error Tracker specification

Rationale

At present we have no mechanism to notify Ubuntu users that the crash they just experienced is actually fixed in a later update of the software that they do not have installed yet.

We have all the information to be able to implement this, but it is not sufficiently connected:

Stakeholders

User stories

As an Ubuntu user
I want to know if a software update fixes the crash I just experienced now or some time in the past
so that I am incentivised to install the update and avoid this problem in the future

As a developer
I want to get updates to users quickly, and get feedback on them quickly
so that I have a good understanding of the current quality of my application

Constraints and Requirements

Must

Nice to have

Out of scope

Success

How will we know when we are done?

The Ubuntu Error Tracker web service, Daisy (lp:daisy), can service requests using this API.

How will we measure how well we have done?
