Help close your old issues on the Webmin and Virtualmin github?

Howdy all,

If you’ve ever opened an issue on the Webmin or Virtualmin github issue trackers and your issue was resolved, either directly or by an update that happened to fix the problem, can you go close that issue?

There’s hundreds, going back many years. I’ve spent many hours closing a couple hundred over the past couple days, but I’m tired and hundreds remain. Lots of the issues are fly-bys, opened by one person who we never saw again and one of us will have to deal with those, but some are from longtime users, as well, some of whom are active here, too.

Of course, if you opened an issue that hasn’t been resolved, don’t close it! And, maybe follow up, so I don’t close it! We want to fix every bug or misfeature, if we can. But, for anything that hasn’t had a follow up in a couple of years or more, I’m closing it and hoping it’s been fixed by an update, rather than spending a bunch of tie trying to track down the user for an update or try to reproduce the issue. (I am often doing a search to see if we’ve had commits that look related if it looks like a real bug, so some issues take longer than others to close.)

You can only close your own issues, so if you’ve never opened an issue, this isn’t for you. But, if you have, and if it got solved and you didn’t close it, please do so!

Thanks!

@Joe all mine require Virtualmin/Webmin team intervention, but just in-case, I will go over them and re-check as you are right some times they are fixed but are not closed.

I am pretty sure this is not me. (I rarely use Git these days and have never kept up with its expansion) I do not remember any, but if there were any feel free to close them.

Can you give us a URL… I went over to the GITHUB Virtualmin page, but couldn’t find any issues of mine…

Feel free to get in touch. I do courses how to use Google ($50/h).

Not sure what you’re talking about… I run a business teaching people “how to internet”. Google (resp. search engines) is a course too.

i guess everyone start out as basic then hopefully gets better and eventually gets proficient then gradually declines/forgets/or worse

Ok, sounds good, much appreciated!

Thanks!

Yep, if it’s an ongoing issue, leave it open, and we’ll try to get to it.
