[Networker] Bug regressions?
2006-06-22 06:02:21
I seem to have noticed on this list recently a couple of threads that
glaringly show examples of bug regressions within the Networker code.
I'm wondering how many of you have had to deal with this? It seems to
me that a software company would do everything in their power to ensure
that a bug that is fixed once is fixed for good. What I seem to have
noticed is that a particular bug will be fixed in a patched or hotfix
release for a limited number of customers that are experiencing it, but
then that fix is not rolled up into the next release whether that
release is a minor dot release or a major release. It appears to me
that EMC seems to think that bug regression is an acceptable business
strategy. Maybe I'm just being overly harsh or critical but I decided
to throw this out there and let the community on this list kick it around.
Here is just the latest example from another current thread on this list
that was posted by Oscar referring to auth failures when nsrmmgd starts
too quickly that Siobhan originally posted about:
I can confirm this as well. We had this problem in netwroker 7.3, but it
seems to have been fixed in the 7.3 jumbo patch, but since we upgraded to
7.3.1 it has occured again.
Sad state of affairs, IMHO.
