> Or am I confusing an open wontfix with a closed wontfix? Yeah, this is confusing as heck, and to make it worse, every Debian maintainer has their own system. We don't have standardized detailed tag meanings. Personally (and this is also the pattern followed by Lintian and Policy maintainers), I tag bugs wontfix but don't close them while I'm still open to further discussion to change my mind. Then, I frequently forget to remove the wontfix tag even after I've changed my mind. :/ Closed is another matter entirely -- that means I'm pretty sure the bug report should just go away. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
