Package: devscripts
Version: 2.17.10
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi!
When doing QA (be it for installed packages, orphaned, etc), typically a
good part of bugs are things you don't care about or are not the right
person to fix: packages written in a language you don't know, deal with
stuff you'd personally prefer to be gone, not-a-bugs, etc.
Seeing that bug in a node.php library for integrating instagram support on
iPhones (that's a dependency of something you use) is a waste of your time.
It makes skimming through the bug list tedious. Same for
"firefox/gcc-snapshot: keep out of testing".
Thus, it'd be nice to be able to mark bugs _you_ don't care about. I don't
think this is a good use for usertags: your personal preferences are utterly
irrelevant for others. Thus, such a list would be best stored locally.
Here's a patch that implements "~/.boring-bugs". If such a file exists, all
lines starting with a bug number make rc-alert and tools that use it filter
out those bugs.
Meow!
