| Adopt-a-Package for bugs is an experimental approach to bug triaging and fixing. Currently, there are different approaches to finding bugs and fixing them. Some people read bug reports as they come in and deal with them in almost real-time. Some people prefer to find the oldest unresolved bugs, or search for untriaged bugs. This approach is a bit different, bugsquad members can choose to focus on a package, and deal with as many bugs in that package as possible. The rationale for this approach is that there are many packages with old bugs that can be rejected or has been solved long ago, where the last comment was filed more than a year ago. It may be a good exercise to go through important packages in Ubuntu that have bugs that has been gathering dust, and to shake them up a bit. | Adopt-a-Package is an approach to bug triaging; Currently, there are different approaches to finding bugs and fixing them; Some people prefer to read bug reports as they come in and deal with them as they are reported, others prefer to find the oldest open bugs and work toward the newest. |

BugSquad 'Adopt a Package'
Adopt-a-Package is an approach to bug triaging; Currently, there are different approaches to finding bugs and fixing them; Some people prefer to read bug reports as they come in and deal with them as they are reported, others prefer to find the oldest open bugs and work toward the newest.

Packages that need particular care
List packages here that are up for adoption. The application bugnumbers of the bughelper suite is useful for finding out how many bugs a particular package has. Below you will find a list of packages which could use some attention. Don't be intimidated by the number as it is the total count of open bugs not untriaged ones.
