It was a qualified yes. Upstream bugs which are relevant to the distribution should be open (but there is only a real advantage in doing so if upstream also uses Launchpad, or if there is a bugwatch connecting the upstream bug tracker to Launchpad). We're obviously not suggesting having all upstream bugs ever reported in Ubuntu -- we don't even package all the versions released. > What I wanted was to say `this bug is not relevant to Ubuntu' but the > system doesn't let me do that. There is a way: indicate the bug as rejected /in Ubuntu/. The upstream task can remain open: if upstream uses Launchpad, they will reject or fix it, and if there is a bugwatch, the synchronizer will update its status eventually. -- Christian Robottom Reis | http://async.com.br/~kiko/ | [+55 16] 3376 0125 -- launchpad-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users
