If the bug is confirmed as a bug, the developer will assign bug severity:
critical, normal, minor or low.
.. note::
*Critical* severity bugs make a feature unusable, cause a major data loss or
hardware breakage. There is no workaround, or a complex one.
*Normal* severity bugs make a feature hard to use, but there is a workaround
(including another feature to use instead of the desired one).
*Minor* severity bugs cause a loss of non-critical feature (like missing or
incorrect logging).
*Low* severity bugs cause minor inconveniences (like a typo in the user
interface or in the documentation).
Severity Levels
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| **Critical - Response time: 3 working days.**
| Severity bugs make a feature unusable, cause a major data loss or
hardware breakage. There is no workaround, or a complex one.
|
| **Normal - Response time: 5 working days.**
| Severity bugs make a feature hard to use, but there is a workaround
(including another feature to use instead of the desired one).
|
| **Minor - Response time: 10 working days.**
| Severity bugs cause a loss of non-critical feature (like missing or
incorrect logging).
|
| **Low - Response time: Best effort.**
| Severity bugs cause minor inconveniences (like a typo in the user
interface or in the documentation).
For *Response time* we intend the time between the opening and the taking charge of the issue.
The bug can originate in a package developed by the project, or from one we use
from an upstream source. The process of handling a bug report will change
between those two cases:
When the Issue is in the Code Developed by the Project
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-------------------------------------------------------
In the case where the bug originates in the code directly maintained by the
Project, the bug is handled directly in the bug tracker.
When the Issue Originates from Upstream Code
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
---------------------------------------------
If the issue was identified in upstream code, we report an upstream issue in
a way appropriate to the upstream project. We store the reference to the upstream
