That the package doesn't change is fine with me, what i'd like is a way to keep track of problems of packages in the stable distribution. I'd like thoses bugs to be reported by apt-listbugs. I'd like the bugs submitted with reportbug on stable to have a stable(maybe?) tag. I guess a lot of them would have a fixed in unstable tag. Currently I believe there is no easy way to get this information. (correct me if i'm wrong) This is being worked on (by me) in the bug tracking system. It's not an easy task, and not well-solved by tags. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks a lot, I guess you think that's an issue too. Although I perfectly understand it is a hard problem to solve, it would be nice to have something working for sarge, since if it isn't, it probably won't be out until the next stable. How about using package version numbers ? with the '(closes : #)' in changelog, we know which bugs weren't closed at the '2.2.5-11.5' time... thanks for your work -- xavier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The bug tracking system doesn't require new stable releases for upgrades to be useful. The sarge release is almost irrelevant here, except for the way it tends to eat a lot of my time. How about using package version numbers ? That's exactly what is being done. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
