Well, I mostly agree, and sorry for that. My first words were an executive summary of how I felt after seeing a bug of mine being closed with almost no action on the part of the maintainer, but I agree that feelings have no place in the BTS. > The bug we're talking about seems related to a very specific setup of > your own. [...] No, I don't think it was so specific. It was the standard way for a samba printing account to be available system-wide as an ordinary printer using /etc/printcap. I'm not going to reopen this bug as I admit (considering its age and the fact that samba code was suffering a lot of changes at the time of submitting) it is likely to be fixed, and I know how to reopen a bug or submit a new one. My "complain", so to speak, is about the way this particular bug has been handled since it was first reported, and what exactly do we mean by "moreinfo". The bug didn't need "moreinfo" when it was first reported. I did my homework, and provided everything a normal maintainer could need to reproduce it, but even in such case I was asked for "moreinfo". Can you understand at least why the word "lazy" came to my mind, even if I did the wrong thing by explicitly spelling it in written?
