I did the same with ubuntu and python bugs for a couple months, same results. Their tracker can link their bug to a specific upstream bug. (I don't remember if it cross posts the traffic, or is just metadata on the bug tracking the upstream bugs status...I believe it is the latter.) Even for those few that merited and got such links, almost all of the ubuntu traffic was irrelevant to us...and either the actual useful info was posted to our bug tracker by someone from their side from the get go, or someone (other than me) reposted the relevant bits to our tracker. Given the (relatively) small amount of such relevant traffic, it is probably better for a human to do the filtering rather than try to write a smart filter that will have both false positives and false negatives. Two months isn't a large sample, but it is probably large enough. --David _______________________________________________ Tracker-discuss mailing list Tracker-discuss@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-discuss
