PIA Known Bugs
The PIA does not have a formal bug-tracking system yet. However, there
are some ``to-do'' files that are included in the appropriate source-code
directories, and copied into the release documentation as part of the
release process.
-
org.risource.pia's
list
- To-do list for the PIA server and applications. (One could argue that
the applications should have their own to-do list, but so far it hasn't
been necessary.)
-
org.risource.dps's
list
- To-do list for the Document Processing System (DPS).
-
org.risource.site's
list
- To-do list for the Site Resource Package.
Please note that these lists are kept in reverse chronological order
(i.e., newest entries first), and that some of the oldest entries have
become irrelevant while nobody was watching them. If you notice a ``bug''
that seems to have been fixed without being removed from the list (or a
bug you think ought to be upgraded to a feature!), please let us know.
To-do lists have entries flagged with one of the following keywords, which
are listed in order of decreasing urgency.
- Bug
- A typically small problem with a simple, unambiguous description of
its symptoms.
- Hole
- A piece of missing, but important, functionality.
- Goal
- A target capability, which includes a date.
- Check
- Something to check for; a potential stumbling block or place where the
implementor may have cut corners in the heat of the moment. For
example, Y2K problems.
- Improvement
- A desirable improvement.
- Proposal
- A proposal that will need to be discussed further.
- Wish
- A desired improvement of low priority.
