Question about Bugzilla bug dependencies

2013-01-07 Thread Chris Peterson 

I've seen some inconsistent usage, so I just wanted to get a group opinion.

If a fix for bug X introduces regression bug Y, should Y block X 
(because X is not properly fixed until regression Y is fixed) or should 
Y depend on X (because regression Y does not exist without fix X)?


thanks,
chris p.

Y blocks X.

I find it easier to remember as X depends on Y (a complete fix for X 
depends on Y)... And then work backward to what to set, since setting 
one for X will set the other for Y. YMMV. ;-)
