No problem. First, afaik none of this is specific to the Perl team. The search term to find out more about it is "Debian BTS version tracking" - there's a reasonably old (but still valid) wiki page tutorial: http://wiki.debian.org/HowtoUseBTS#Version_tracking Also useful are the definitions of the release tags: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#tags The BTS shows which suites are affected by a bug using the coloured graph in the top-right - the tags can affect this graph, but just because a bug is tagged "wheezy" doesn't mean the BTS thinks it affects wheezy. Given libembperl-perl is currently not in testing, should we keep the > "wheezy" tag? > I think in this instance those tags should not have been necessary, since 2.3.0-2 is not in squeeze. Hmm. That's odd, because I think in July I was looking at lists of bugs marked as affecting stable. Apologies for any confusion, here. :( The tags don't hurt, though, and there's no need to hunt down and remove extra wheezy tags - the BTS knows that the bug doesn't really affect wheezy. -- Tim Retout <dioc...@debian.org>
