The Debian BTS has a `owner' field[1]: The owner of a bug claims responsibility for fixing it. This field is also displayed on the BTS bug page. I still do not quite understand the difference between claiming a bug[2] and using the owner field. In my opinion, the option to `claim' a bug looks redundant. Is there someone who has more insight on this? Why are there two different options to give the same information (in this case who feels responsible for fixing the bug)?

The unoffical release critical bug tracker at http://bts.turmzimmer.net/details.php contains information about "claimed" bugs.

There's no real "This is being worked on" flag in the BTS; the problem with a flag like that is that if someone gives up or has to stop working on the bug there's no guarantee that they'll be able to or care enough to remove the flag again. It's courtesy to perhaps send an e-mail to the bug saying "I'm working on this, I should have a fix within $TIMEFRAME", but it's certainly not something you can rely on happening. In practice, it's very, very rare for there to be collisions in bugfixes, except in specific instances like bug-squashing parties (when there are protocols in place to minimise problems). There's plenty of bugs to be fixed, and not that many people actively working on them, so I'd be inclined to not worry so much about possible duplication of work and just dig in and fix something that you think needs fixing. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, generally no, like any other bugs. Sometimes (in particular it's used during bug squashing parties), the one who's working on the bug "claim" it, using "bts claim ", and you can see on [1] it a bug is claimed or not (is this information available somewhere else?).

Question about bug hunting
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi mentors, Is there any means to know if someone work on a bug from RC bug ? rc-alert or popbugs show all RC bugs of our packages but if someone is already on, it isn't necessary to work to solve the bug. Are all works in progress referenced somewhere ? Thanks for reading.
