Description

[Gordon P. Hemsley [:GPHemsley]]

Development of Bespin is progressing, so it's time for a version number update.

== Version ==
=== REMOVE ===
0.2.4
0.2.5
0.2.6

=== ADD ===
0.3.1
0.4.0
0.4.1

Also, please sort the list so that all the version numbers are in order, with 'unspecified' at the top and 'Trunk' at the bottom.

== Target ==
=== REMOVE ===
0.2.4
0.2.5
0.2.6

=== ADD ===
0.3.2
0.4.x
0.4.0
0.4.1

Also, please move the '---' to between 0.3.2 and 0.4.x.

Thank you kindly.

sorry, versions are sorted alphabetically. I can't move unspecified (without giving it some other name).

That can't possibly be the case, because the list is all out of order. It goes 0.2.1, 0.3.0, Trunk, 0.2.2, ..., 0.3.1, 0.4.0, 0.4.1. It seems more like it's sorted by date added or something, which makes no sense. (It could very well be a limitation of Bugzilla... but it still makes no sense.)

It seems like that part got lost in the shuffle, so I'm marking as REOPENED for the time being.

Thanks again.

sorry about the missed bits, got them, thanks.

you're looking at query, i think its algorithm is something like:

$position = 0;
%versions = ();
@products = PickProductList(order=Uncertain);
foreach $product (@products) {
  @product_versions = getVersions($product);
  foreach $version (@product_versions) {
    $versions{$version} = $position++ unless defined $versions{$version};
  }
}
@versions = ();
foreach $version (keys %versions) {
  $versions[$versions{$version}] = $version;
}
print $versions[$version] for ($version = 0; $version < $position; ++$position);

Basically the first product to define a version defines where in the order a version goes, if you're later in the list and most of your versions were defined, they'll be elsewhere, so you only contribute the unique version bits.

And no, it doesn't make sense for the case when you only have one product selected. It's probably actually javascript (not perl), but it's a bug in bugzilla, so file it there :).

The version table that matters to real people is the one in a single bug, and that's alpha sorted. And that I can't fix either :)
