<> == == Bug importances '''are''' the priorities given to a bug report in [[http://tinyurl.com/qzj5grt|Launchpad]] to be worked on by each project involved. * [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol|Ubuntu Bug Control]] sets importance for the Ubuntu project. * The '''rest of projects''' use their own scale for importances, so their set priorities can be different. {{attachment:One Hundred Papercuts/Bug importances/Bug importance.png||width=750}} /!\ '''Before''' setting an importance, '''check''' the panel hasn't got errors that are obvious to you. == == === Undecided === * No one has '''set priority''' to it yet. * We '''don't know''' what importance the bug should have yet. === Wishlist === /!\ This cannot be a [[One Hundred Papercuts/Papercuts|papercut]]! * It's an idea for a '''new feature'''. * It's a requests '''to package''' software for Ubuntu. * It affect an '''experimental extension''' or non-essential feature. * It would only be fixed on a '''best-effort''' or outside-contribution basis. * It's '''non-trivial''' to implement (it should rather be written as a [[FeatureSpecifications|feature specification]]). === Low === * It has an easy [[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/work-around|work-around]]. * It affects '''unusual''' end-user set up. * It affects a '''non-essential aspect''' of the [[One Hundred Papercuts/Software packages|package]]. * It has a '''moderate impact''' on a [[One Hundred Papercuts/Core packages|non-core]] package. * It's a '''cosmetic or usability''' issue that doesn't limit the functionality of a non-core package. * It's a non-ideal default '''configuration'''. === Medium === * '''Most bugs''' fit this importance. * It has a '''moderate impact''' on a [[One Hundred Papercuts/Core packages|core]] [[One Hundred Papercuts/Software packages|package]]. * It has a '''severe impact''' on a [[One Hundred Papercuts/Core packages|non-core]] package. * It impacts '''accessibility''' of a non-core package. * It's a '''usability''' issue that doesn't limit the functionality of a core package. * It affects a '''non-essential hardware''' component (removable network card, camera, web-cam, music player, sound card, power management feature, printer...). === High === * It's estimated to have '''severe impact''' on an small portion of Ubuntu users. * It makes a default Ubuntu installation '''unusable''' for some users. * It affects an '''essential hardware''' component (disk controller, built-in networking, video card, keyboard, mouse). * It's estimated to have a moderate impact on a '''large portion''' of Ubuntu users. * It prevents the [[One Hundred Papercuts/Software packages|package]] (or a dependent one) from '''functioning correctly''' at all. * It renders essential features or functionality of the package (or a dependent one) '''broken'''. * It impacts '''accessibility''' of a [[One Hundred Papercuts/Core packages|core]] package. === Critical === /!\ This cannot be a [[One Hundred Papercuts/Papercuts|papercut]]! * It has a '''severe impact''' on a large portion of Ubuntu users. * It causes '''data corruption'''. * It crashes the '''entire operating system'''. * It renders the system temporarily or permanently '''unusable'''. * It '''severely affects''' [[One Hundred Papercuts/Software packages|packages]] beyond the one that causes the flaw.
