Follow-up Comment #10, bug #60927 (group groff): Hi Keith,

No harshness intended; the definition of "Invalid" status in _groff_'s ticket tracker on Savannah is "The issue is inapplicable, erroneous, or infeasible; see comments." (Here, the term "inapplicable", er, applies.) Frustratingly, I don't know that anyone but the admins of said ticket tracker have any way to view that definition--and then only by attempting to edit it. I've raised an issue with Savane/Savannah's own developers regarding this lacuna. https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?111303 I've annotated several _groff_ ticket summaries with '[not our problem]' over the years, but one infer harshness from that, too.[1] > After all, this ticket was certainly valid, at the time when Kurt > originally submitted it, and development _is_ ongoing, at > https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/groff-pdfmark/; perhaps Kurt, (or > any other interested party), could be invited to review the state of > the documentation, as it can currently be found there, and open a new > ticket, on the associated bug tracker, if any further improvements are > deemed to be necessary? I can't speak for Kurt, but I'm not inclined to discourage anyone from evaluating the groff-pdfmark software, nor from supplying useful hyperlinks to its repository, ticket tracker, et al., in comments to this (or any other relevant) _groff_ ticket. Regards, Branden [1] Savannah URLs can be brutally long. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?go_report=Apply&group=groff&func=&set=custom&msort=0&report_id=225&advsrch=0&bug_id=&submitted_by=0&category_id=0&severity=0&bug_group_id=0&resolution_id=0&assigned_to=0&status_id=0&plan_release_id=0&summary=not+our+problem&history_search=0&history_field=0&history_event=modified&history_date_dayfd=24&history_date_monthfd=8&history_date_yearfd=2025&max_rows=50&spamscore=5&boxoptionwanted=1#options _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60927> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
