| fully_human | Hello. I'm getting my feet wet fixing a bug. I haven't fully done a bug fix yet (a few attempts) and am hoping a small bug like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/807861 can help me get started. | 04:20 |

| _mup_ | Bug #807861: typo in ../src/widgets/toolbox.cpp:4685 <bitesize> <patch> <raring> <Inkscape:Fix Committed> <inkscape (Ubuntu):In Progress by johnsmith1234> <https://launchpad.net/bugs/807861> | 04:20 |
| fully_human | So far I've apt-get sourced the code. I'm assuming I now need to do bzr branch? | 04:21 |

| fully_human | Hello. I'm fixing my first bug (bug week is as good a time as any). I know I'm supposed to write a test case for the bug. If the bug is a typo within the source code would a good test be to parse the source line in question and verify it? | 16:35 |
| fully_human | The bug I'm fixing is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/807861 | 16:36 |
| cjwatson | I applaud your enthusiasm for testing, but there's really no need to write tests for that kind of thing | 16:38 |
| cjwatson | Anyone who requires you to do so doesn't really understand what testing is for :-) | 16:38 |
| cjwatson | (By the way, this channel is for development of Launchpad itself. You perhaps meant #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-bugs or something) | 16:39 |
| fully_human | cjwatson, Ah, thanks. | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | (Maybe not #ubuntu-bugs, that's more for bug triage) | 16:41 |
