I no longer use Ubuntu and therefore cannot perform the task requested;
if it is unimportant to the project as so many other bugs are, it is
also unimportant to me. As there is no “closed” status for the bug
tracker, I am marking this bug as invalid and muting future mails which
might be generated from this bug.
In case anyone cares to know, it is precisely this treatment of
allegedly supported releases that I will no longer use the Ubuntu
distribution. I reported this bug against Ubuntu 10.10. As Ubuntu 10.10
is still a supported release, the correct disposition for handling this
bug in any project that is properly managed would be to fix the bug as
reported, and then do the relatively trivial work to backport or
forwardport the fix (if necessary) to any other as yet supported
releases. This mentality of attempting to avoid work because there might
be some chance that it might have been fixed is something which I find
to be born of the inability to provide adequate support for the
distribution. There are distributions out there that have less in the
way of both financial and community resources, and yet perform worlds
better when it comes to responding to both requests for help and bug
reports.
Should a Launchpad admin see this, I wish for my relationship to all bug
reports in the Ubuntu distribution to be severed. Failing this, I would
like an administrator to mute all bugs that I carry a relationship to
within the Ubuntu project, so long as I do not have a relationship to
that bug in some other way; for example, there are bug reports against
the AllTray project (for which I am the maintainer) that are also linked
to Ubuntu, and I do not wish to have those bugs muted. Failing all of
that, I will merely attempt to find eight to ten hours so that I can do
it myself, but it’d be far more efficient and courteous if someone with
the ability to do so would just do it directly.
And if you have read this far, then I thank you for paying attention to
my words, even if it means not paying any mind to the bug report itself.
