Bugs and Melbourne Perl Mongers
Monday, December 7th, 2009 at 09:10pm
At two Melbourne Perl Mongers meetings this year Paul Fenwick co-opted us into fixing bugs.
Melbourne Perl Mongers Bug Squash (September 2009)
Our first attempt was against the Volatile 100. It wasn’t very successfull, but we did all learn a lot about how to read the CPAN testers reports. The problem we had was that the Volatile 100 is made up of the modules that are depended on the most. As such these are already well tested and the reports that we were looking at where for quite unusual bugs.
Melbourne Perl Mongers Perl 5.12 bug triage (November 2009)
Our second attempt was at first hindered by problems with the wireless network, but that just meant we had to head over to the pub that had free wifi. This time we were a lot more successful as all we were doing was triaging new bug reports against Perl itself.
Now I am looking forward to the meeting this week where Damian Conway will be presenting The Missing Link.
