My Bug Fixing Attitude

As everybody else on Planet GNOME, I'm going to reveal my secret bug hunting attitude:

What is your bug hunting attitude?

Update: The script is here Update 2: The output of the script should be AND'ed together. I needed to close 27 bugs, open 20, and add 101 other comments for my points to round to 20.

Script fails for me:

1019 newren@Miney:tmp/blablabla$ ./gnome-points 1651 294 221
File "./gnome-points", line 24
return sum (math.log (x,y) for (x,y) in zip ([comments, closed, opened], bases))
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Humm, the syntax I used (generator comprehensions) need Python 2.4. Just converted it to use list comprehensions instead, so it should run now.

Maybe it should contact bugzilla and grab the points information itself.

That's what I tried first! After coding the sed and when time came to try it out, I figured the bugzilla page requires login. That's not impossible, but not worth the time.

There's a problem with your script :
all values are rounded ! So it tells you that you will reach 19 points when it fact you will have 18.51 (and 18 will still be displayed )

This should be added as a module in bugzilla so we can report bug against it ! :-D

No, when you are 18.51, bugzilla.gnome.org will show 19. The script knows what it's doing, really.

Apologies then.. It's just that the script is telling me I have 15 but bugzilla still shows me 14.

But, anyway, your script is awful. I've done 2 hours of bug triaging just to test this and I'm really hungry now !

Thanks for that ;-)

Just wait an hour before the cron job updates your points :).

To display the real value that the Bugzilla account shows you must use math.ceil in the 2 places where the level appears.
