Closed only because no one bothered to confirm whether the bug still exists yet or not. This is a clearly reported bug, with a clear and repeatable way to demonstrate it, and no note to indicate that any change has been made to fix it. Therefore why would someone need to verify that it still exists, since it can be reproduced in about the same time as it takes to mark it NEEDSINFO? I have the feeling that some bugs get totally blown off by marking them NEEDSINFO instead of UNMAINTAINED or WONTFIX, when the maintainer is the one who can't be bothered to check using the procedure the user provided. And why would a user bother, given that no one fixed it in a year? The hardest thing to do is admit you are too busy or unmotivated to maintain something and hand it off or drop it. Been there, did it too late several times. -- Bill Davidsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked. - from Slashdot -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

It must be very depressing to see the huge number of bugs that stick on a NEEDINFO ticket for years, with no-one bothering to follow them up. Hugely, Anne. Hugely.

Closed only because no one bothered to confirm whether the bug still exists yet or not. Presumably because it's reasonable to surmise from that page (at least when I first read it, eight months after the bug report had originally been filed) that the bug had been left to fester: there's no indication that Fedora has attempted to fix kfontinst itself, and no reference (as would typically happen to KDE bugs tracked in Bugzilla) to the bug being referred upstream. For the record I've just had a word with the developer assigned to it -- the Fedora version number's been incremented to 8! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
