bugzilla 1193 regression: 'matches more than one template declaration' doesn't list the location of the conflicting templates

You keep this up and I'm gonna be forced to fix more bugs or something.

You've been doing some great work. But the bugs are still being filed faster than they're being fixed :-(

Keep heart. The frequency of bug reports will decrease soon now that the language stabilized.

Reports just mean more people are using the thing.  As long as it's getting incrementally better, and it is, then the nature of the bugs will change from gross errors to more and more obscure errors.  We're a long way from that, but inching along nicely.

The internal compiler errors are getting significantly less frequent and more obscure.

Lots of new bug reports mean one of two things:

1. a big uptick in usage of D

2. we're doing a crappy QA job

I hope it's (1) !

Maybe guys like Don and so on who have done such awesome work in the past should get commit rights to speed up the fixing process.

And maybe is time for a DVCS, so Don (and others) can maintain their
own repos (which could be tested by other people too) and Walter can
easily pull patches that are working fine without any effort (now
I guess Walter have to do the patching and commiting himself, which is
more time consuming than a simple pull command).

I think is good for consistency that there is only one person who decides what goes in the official repo and what not, the problem is (I guess) now that task is very time consuming. DVCS makes that very easy.

For my 2 cents:

The dcvs systems are still too user unfriendly (though git is the only one I've used for more than toying around, I've looked at a couple others at least a little).

Additionally, I don't find the "put ready patches in bugzilla" to be
particularly problematic at all from my end.  In some ways it's superior, being
guaranteed to stick around longer than someone might keep a random dcvs repo around.

Lastly, at least for my few contributions so far, I don't think any of them has gone in without at least some minor changes.

Later,
Brad
