RE: [Xen-API] [PATCH] imported patch removing-warnings

[Dave Scott <Dave.Scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

(I apologies if my email is badly formatted... silly web mail client in use)

My quick comments are:
1. a lot of warnings will be attributed to the "xen hg user" (have a look at 
"hg export 0")
2. as a special case, it might be good to view fixing warnings as a task for 
newbies to help familiarise them with the codebase. I would agree with the 
notion that henceforth, new warnings should be treated as bugs and the creator 
should tidy them up.

Cheers,
Dave

Yes -- it ought to be possible to distribute this work:

1. grep the results of a successful build for warnings
2. convert the warnings into a warning list w, where w = [(file, line)]
3. use hg annot to identify the person that last touched each line
4. partition list w into a per-user list of warnings: [(user, [(file,
line)])].
5. create a bug report for each user, along with their list of warnings.

Thoughts?

Jonathan
