2003-10-31 Thread Ben Armstrong
Hi, An important job of Debian Jr. is to ensure that all Debian Jr. meta packages make it into the next release. However, any RC bugs remaining at release time against pacakges upon which any meta package still depends could cause removal of the entire package. Any such checking for bugs and pu

Coloured graph of bug history over a single package's release cycle?

2002-04-18 Thread Ben Armstrong
