[Insight-developers] Bug fixing procedures

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Steve,


     Thanks for joining the "Adopt a Bug" program


Q1: Yes, you are right.
     Your status in the MANTIS bug tracker must be upgraded
     to "developer" instead of the default "reporter".

     We just upgraded your status, so you should now be able
     to add notes and to modify the state of a bug.


Q2: The ViewCVS links can be taken from the following top link
     http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?root=Insight

     This replicates the source tree of the repository.
     If you navigate through the subdirectories, you can
     get for example to Insight/Code/Common:
http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Code/Common/?root=Insight

     and you could select a particular file, for example the itkMesh
http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Code/Common/itkMesh.h?root=Insight&view=log

     and refer to the diffs between version 1.96 and version 1.95:
http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Code/Common/itkMesh.h?root=Insight&r1=1.95&r2=1.96

      This is extremely helpful for other developers, who in five or
      six years will be looking back at your bug report and will be
      trying to figure out what changes were made and why.



Please let us know if you have any other questions,


    Thanks for helping us improve the toolkit.


       Luis
