When a bug applies to an old version of a package (say, a version only in Potato) when should that bug be closed? If it's not security or life-threatening to the package, it will pretty much never get fixed in Potato, but it's still a bug. Perhaps it should be tagged wontfix and be done with it? Since it's not been fixed, it shouldn't be closed, but it still looks unpleasant.
And what about when, for instance, potato is replaced as the stable distro by Woody? Should the bug be closed then because it's no longer relevant? Perhaps it's closed automatically because it's tagged 'Potato', I don't know. Anyway, just trying to think my way through a few issues with the BTS and the hows, whys, and wheretofores of bug handling when there are multiple simultaneous versions of a package for bugs to be tracked on. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <disclaimer.h> Matthew Palmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
