Help finding Mistelix bugs

[adrian15]

Hi,

As a part of an university subject homework I have to work on finding
bugs on Mistelix.

I suppose this is the right place to write about these topics.
I am going to report my first bug right now.

In: http://www.mistelix.org/Contribute it says:

Reporting issues

Development version is updated quite often, and contains latest
bleeding edge code rich of new features and fixes for existing bugs. A
big help you can give to the project is constantly update and build
SVN version and try normally using it. In case you discover
malfunctions or misbehaviours you can report a new bug.

I think that "SVN version" should be a link to a page to explains how
to get access to the svn and how to download it, or at least the
anonymous svn link.
(I have also read something about GIT so I do not know if this
information is accurated).

I think that "you can report a new bug" should be a link to either a
page where the bug report procedure is explained or the project's
"bugzilla" page.

Once I know what are these links (maybe you can create them so that
documentation is improved?) I will be able to begin to test Mistelix.

Well, I will not because in mistelix.org I have not been able to find
information on how I am supposed to build and test mistelix. Another
bug or did I just overlook it?

Hello Adrian,

I suppose this is the right place to write about these topics.

Yes, it is.

I am going to report my first bug right now.

In: http://www.mistelix.org/Contribute it says:

I think that "you can report a new bug" should be a link to either a
page where the bug report procedure is explained or the  project's
"bugzilla" page.

I have fixed the page following your suggestion.

Mistelix's started at Google Code and this week I have completed the migration to the source control and bug tracking system services provided by the GNOME project.

As result, the source code is now at GNOME git [1] and GNOME Bugzilla[2] is the new home for bugs and issues.

Once I know what are these links (maybe you can create them so that
documentation is improved?) I will be able to begin to test Mistelix.

Well, I will not because in mistelix.org I have not been able to find
information on how I am supposed to build and test mistelix. Another
bug or did I just overlook it?

>From any page at www.mistelix.org, if you go to the 'Developers' or 'Download' top quickbar links you can access the document "How to build Mistelix from sources"[3], that explains how to build it from sources.  If you have issues building Mistelix from source, do not hesitate to request help in this list.

Mistelix is still a project in its early stages. I'm really interested in feedback from users trying to use it for real projects. My suggestion is that you take a real set of pictures and you try to create a real project.

If you need real-time assistance, I'm usually available at #softcatala IRC channel at irc.gimp.org port 6666. My username is jmas.

Thanks,

Ok. What about GIT being a link to GIT's main repository?

Ok.

Ok. I'll take a look at it.

Do not worry about that.

Ok, then. I have some marriage photos that will be ok.

Ok. I'll add irc.gimp.org to my irc client.
