| Title | Release build procedure can generate incorrect list of fixed issues |

| Description | The release build procedure instructs the developer to generate the list of issues fixed in a release using the known_issues.py script, but the logic of the script is incorrect, for example it won't work for finding the jobs fixed in release 1.1.0. |
| Analysis | We merged changes from the integration-kit branch to the masters. The changelists for these are interleaved with those for various releases. They include fixes for some jobs, which should count as being fixed in release 1.1.0. But they are excluded because they are before the changelist of the previous release. RB 2001-03-20 It may be that we want all the issues ever fixed minus all the issues ever fixed in the previous release, rather than filtering by changelist, which will only work for linear sources. RB 2001-03-20 Fixed by changing the procedure to use the 'fixed_at_changelevel' query in the issue CGI script. The known_issue.py script is still buggy, but since it isn't used any more it can be deleted. GDR 2001-05-04 |
