Package: doc-debian Version: 4.0.2 Severity: wishlist Hi!
/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-maint-mailcontrol.txt states, in part: | unarchive bugnumber | Unarchives a bug that was previously archived. Unarchival should | generally be coupled with reopen and found/fixed as appropriate. | Bugs that have been unarchived can be archived using archive | assuming the non-time based archival requirements are met. However, http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#unarchive seems to have a more detailed explanation: | unarchive bugnumber | Unarchives a bug that was previously archived. Unarchival should | generally be coupled with reopen and found/fixed as appropriate. | Bugs that have been unarchived can be archived using archive | assuming the non-time based archival requirements are met. You | should not be using unarchive to make trivial changes to archived | bugs, such as changing the submitter; its primary purpose is to | allow for the reopening of bugs which have been archived without | the intervention of BTS administrators. Please update the explanation in the package, so that other people who (like me) take a look at /usr/share/doc/debian/bug-maint-mailcontrol.txt without reading the web documentation too, avoid doing things that are recommended against... :-( Thanks for your time. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash doc-debian depends on no packages.
