Package: reportbug Version: 3.39-0.1 Severity: wishlist When selecting an existing bug to add further information to, reportbug asks you if the bug is present in the current version. If you say yes, it adds a Version: line, which the BTS uses to mark the bug with a "Seen in Version x". If you say no, the bug is no longer present, then reportbug does nothing.
I think it would enhance reportbug's usefulness if, when saying the bug is no longer present in the current version, you could then be given the option to close the bug. This would mean sending the email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] The advantage, among others, of using reportbug to close the bug rather than simply emailing directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is that the closing email will then automatically contain current versions for all dependencies, which may be useful in determining what exactly fixed the bug. I guess this operation would be the inverse of that requested in Bug #447481 :) -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: EDITOR="jed" DEBEMAIL="Drew Parsons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" INTERFACE="text" ** /home/drew/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "3.0" mode expert ui text realname "Drew Parsons" email "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 0.7.11 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii python 2.5.2-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.6.5 register and build utility for Pyt reportbug recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
