I have added some instructions to deal with tags latest and oldest in<br>
the daily bibisect repo<br>

Will you be good enough to look over the changes?<br>
<br>
Of course, if the repo came with these tags laready in place, that<br>
whole section of the page could go away.<br>

Thanks,<br>

I'll take a look - we've been talking quite a bit about cleaning this page and I see that you're adding and cleaning it up. Was wondering if you'd be willing (if not let me know and I'll take a stab at it) to do a couple things to the page.<br>

I will be glad to continue hacking at the page.<div class="im"><br>

1. Can you add a note that says if the bibisect shows the bug the entire time (ie. it's prebibisect) to mark the version as 3.5beta0 in FDO - this is the best we can do currently - and add "prebibisect" to whiteboard.<br>

2. Rearrange the page just a bit - I think logically<br>
a) Intro<br>
b) Limitations<br>
c) Download stuff<br>
d) how to bibisect (currently in a different location)<br>
e) Bug that need bibisected<br>
f) troubleshooting<br>

I think only one change there but it makes more sense intrinsically to me.<br>
<br>
3. Another minor thing that I see is in "versions" it says bibisect40bugs for bugs that need bibisecting - as far as I know every bug that needs bibisected is "bibisectrequest" - I haven't seen the 4.0 and 4.0+ (daily) differentiated - perhaps I missed something though :)<br>

BZ shows no bugs with “bibisect40” in either the Whiteboard or<br>
Keywords. I changed it:<br>

I remember from June that the linked bugzilla queries use a baffling<br>
veriety of selection criteria. Do you have an idea about whether<br>
there is a reason for this variety? Or is it something that “just<br>
happened”?<div class="im"><br>

Thanks Terry for tackling this how to wiki - it has a lot going on there so the cleaner and simpler we make it the better.<br>

Hah! We haven't even started on the witheboard statuses and<br>
prescribed comments for reporting the results. The page already has a<br>
lot of instructions conditioned by the tester's choice of bibisect<br>
download. I only foresee that getting worse: there are three bibisect<br>
versions, and each can be unhelpful when the regression is off either<br>
end. (Yes, a regression newer than the 40+ version is plausible. I<br>
went weeks without updating my download after an attempted update hung<br>
for days showing an ETA of a hundred odd days.) Among the unseccssful<br>
cases, only the determination that a regression is older than the OVA<br>
or 40 repositories marks the end of the search. How much should we<br>
try to track in the whiteboard status?<div class="im"><br>
