== Choosing good keywords for tickets ==

Trac can search the full text of tickets, so adding a keyword that already occurs in another field doesn't help for general searching. If we standardise the use of certain keywords, however, it could make finding certain specific types of ticket much easier. This, then, is a suggested list of keywords that we might like to standardise.

||= '''Keyword''' =||= '''Meaning''' =||
|| [query:status=!closed&keywords=~tiger tiger]\\leopard\\[query:status=!closed&keywords=~snowleopard snowleopard]\\lion\\[query:status=!closed&keywords=~mountainlion mountainlion]\\[query:status=!closed&keywords=~mavericks mavericks]\\[query:status=!closed&keywords=~yosemite yosemite] || The ticket is only applicable to the indicated OS release(s). ||
|| [query:status=!closed&keywords=~i386 i386]\\[query:status=!closed&keywords=~x86_64 x86_64]\\[query:status=!closed&keywords=~powerpc powerpc] \\[query:status=!closed&keywords=~powerpc64 powerpc64] || The ticket is only applicable when using the indicated `build_arch`. ||
|| [query:status=!closed&keywords=~LP64 LP64] || The ticket describes a problem caused by the size of variables of type int, long or pointers on a 64-bit arch. ||
|| [query:status=!closed&keywords=~haspatch haspatch] || The ticket has a patchfile attached that may be ready to apply. ||
|| [https://trac.macports.org/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&keywords=~haspatch+maintainer&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&col=port&order=priority haspatch maintainer] || The ticket has a patchfile attached that was approved or supplied by the port maintainer that may be ready to apply. ||
