ffmpegs bug/patch/feature request tracker manual
================================================
NOTE, this is a draft, its not yet recommended to send real bugreports to the
tracker but rather use the mailing lists
though, if you are brave and don't mind that your bugreport might disappear or
that you might be mailbombed due to a misconfiguration, you can surely try
to enter a real bugreport
Overview:
---------
FFmpeg uses roundup for tracking issues, new issues and changes to
existing issues can be done through a web interface and through email.
Its possible to subscribe to individual issues by adding yourself to the
nosy list or to subscribe to the ffmpeg-issues mailing list which receives
a mail for every change to every issue. Replies to such mails will also
properly be added to the respective issue.
(the above does all work already after light testing)
note: issue = (bug report || patch || feature request)
Type:
-----
bug
An error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in ffmpeg or libav* that
prevents it from behaving as intended.
feature request
Request of support for encoding or decoding of a new codec, container
or variant.
Request of support for more, less or plain different output or behavior.
Where the current behavior cannot be considered wrong.
patch
A patch as generated by diff which conforms to the patch submission and
Development Policy.
Priority:
---------
critical
Bugs and patches which deal with data loss and security issues
no feature request can be critical.
important
Bugs which makes ffmpeg unusable for a significant number of users, and
patches fixing them.
examples here might be completely broken mpeg4 decoding or a build issue
on linux
while broken 4xm decoding or broken os2 build would not be important, the
separation to normal is somewhat fuzzy ...
For feature requests this priority would be used for things many people
want.
normal
minor
Bugs and patches about things like spelling errors, "mp2" instead of
"mp3" being shown and such
Feature requests about things few people want or which don't make a big
difference.
wish
Something that is desirable to have but that there is no urgency at
all to implement, e.g.: something completely cosmetic like a
website restyle or a personalized doxy template or the ffmpeg logo.
This priority isn't valid for bugs.
Status:
-------
new
initial state
open
intermediate states
closed
Final state
Type/Status/Substatus:
----------
*/new/new
Initial state of new bugs, patches and feature requests submitted by
users
*/open/open
Issues which have been briefly looked at and which didnt look outright
invalid
This implicates that no real more detailed state applies yet. And the
more detailed states below implicate that the issue has been briefly
looked at.
*/closed/duplicate
Bugs, patches or feature requests which are duplicate of some other.
Note patches dealing with the same thing but differently are not duplicate.
*/closed/invalid
Bugs caused by user errors, random ineligible or otherwise nonsense stuff
bug/open/reproduced
Bugs which have been reproduced
bug/open/analyzed
Bugs which have been analyzed and where it is understood what causes them
and which exact chain of events triggers them. This analyzis should be
available as a message in the bugreport
Note, do not change the status to analyzed without also providing a clear
and understandable analysis.
This state implicates that the bug either has been reproduced or that
reproduction is not needed as the bug is understood already anyway.
bug/open/needs_more_info
Bugreports which are incomplete and or where more information is needed
from the submitter or another person who can provide the info.
This state implicates that the bug has not been analyzed or reproduced
bug/closed/fixed
Bugs which have to the best of our knowledge been fixed.
bug/closed/wont_fix
Bugs which we will not fix, the reasons here could be legal, philosophical
or others
bug/closed/works_for_me
Bugs for which sufficient information was provided to reproduce but
reproduction failed that is the code seems to work correctly to the
best of our knowledge.
patch/open/approved
Patches which have been reviewed and approved by a developer.
Such patches can be applied anytime by any other developer after some
reasonable testing (compile + regression tests + does the patch do
what the author claimed)
patch/open/needs_changes
Patches which have been reviewed and need changes to be accepted
patch/closed/applied
Patches which have been applied
patch/closed/rejected
Patches which have been rejected
feature_request/open/needs_more_info
Feature requests where its not clear what exactly is wanted
(these also could be closed as invalid ...)
feature_request/closed/implemented
Feature requests which have been implemented.
feature_request/closed/wont_implement
Feature requests which will not be implemented. The reasons here could
be legal, philosophical or others.
Note, please do not use type-status-substatus combinations other than the
above without asking on ffmpeg-dev first!
