Re: Release-critical Bugreport for January 5, 2001

2001-01-06 Thread Laurent Bonnaud

Hi,

would it be possible to clarify the title of this post by adding for
which distribution it is about: testing or unstable ?  I guess it
is for unstable, but packages in unstable are not meant to be
released, only packages in testing.

Even if testing does not import packages with RC bugs from
unstable, RC bugs may be found *after* the package inclusion into
testing.  So it might be useful to have this post for both testing
and unstable.

How hard would it be to implement ?

I thought aj introduced the serious severity so that important bugs
wouldn't be considered release-critical anymore, but it looks like bugscan
doesn't know that important bugs aren't RC.

Thanks, fixed:

@priorities = (serious, grave, critical);

Those will be considered release-critical now.

I notice that some porters are still filing can't build from source
bugs as 'important'; I realize the developers-reference package hasn't
been updated yet, although the version in CVS has. A lot of such
'important' bugs are going to need to be upgraded to 'serious'.

Well, packages that cannot be built wont be put into testing, basically
because the version isn't compiled on all archs. So it wont be released
anyway. IMO, build failures on non-release archs (those not in testing)
should be considered important, while build failures on release archs
(those in testing) should be considered serious.
